Speaking about the league, Oliseh said:

“It’s very different now because I played in the league and watched the league occasionally as an ex-player but now as a coach it will be unfair to judge them but both teams showed glimpses of brilliance.

“Abia Warriors were a handful for 3SC even if the Ibadan team profited from a defensive error, that’s not to say that 3SC didn’t deserve to win.”
