Usman Abdallah, Kano Pillars' head coach, expressed unhappiness with his team's 2-0 loss against Remo Stars.

Sai Masu Gida lost 2-0 against Remo Stars on Sunday at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium.

Ismail Sodiq and Franck Mawuena scored goals for the Sky Blue Stars.
Abdallah admitted that Remo Stars' early preparation for the new season provided a significant advantage.

"It's a painful defeat for us, especially at home," Abdallah said in a postgame interview.

"Remo Stars were well-prepared due to their continental responsibilities, whereas we are still establishing ourselves.

"But I am confident we will bounce back and aim for maximum points in our upcoming games."
