Imoro, uncharacteristic of him was limited to few surging ran in the game and answering whether it was because of the opposition or a tactical instruction by the interim-Head Coach ,Johnson Smith said he had to be tactically disciplined not to commit too much.
“I didn’t do a lot of surging rans today due to the tactics our coach deployed.” He noted
“He asked me to stay back and over-lap when the timing was right, so it was about keeping my tactical discipline.”
The Porcupines following their win leap-frogged Medeama FC to fourth on the table with a game in hand .
