The NPFL all stars earlier succumbed 2 – 1 to Valencia in their first match, but could not stop a rampant Malaga side this time around.
Coach of the team Salisu Yusud says the loss of his players from Enyimba to CAF Champions League duties contributed to the 4-1 defeat.
“I was asked this question before the game and the answer I gave was simply that it’s a lesson we have learned. Maybe next time we will come with more players, or not bring players who will have important assignments with their clubs.
“Because of the shortage of players we had to play some out of position and we will do the same thing against Athletico Madrid on Saturday,” Salisu said.
