President Federation Cup: Nasarawa United ready for Ikorodu City showdown – Mangut

Nasarawa United technical adviser, Mbwas Mangut, says his side is focused and battle-ready for the President Federation Cup semi-final clash with Ikorodu City.

The Solid Miners will battle with Ikorodu City at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City on Wednesday.

Mangut urged his players to channel the disappointment of missing out on a continental ticket in the 2025-26 Nigeria Premier Football League into the match with Ikorodu City.

“Well, this is a game we all know will be very difficult,” Mangut told the club’s media.

“Ikorodu City are a side that is young, mobile, play as a compact, and you could see the class they showed in the league.

“Coming to this stage in the FA Cup, you know no one is a pushover. So, we believe we are going to play a very difficult game.”

Mangut however urged his players to be clinical in front of goal in the game.

“We have it in mind to work harder, believing that the side that takes its chances carries the day.

“We can’t afford to make mistakes. We will minimize costly errors.”
