The Owerri club defeated Niger Tornadoes 2-0 at the Dan Anyiam Stadium on Sunday to end their barren run.

Heartland recorded one draw and three defeats from their previous four outings.

“We deserved this moment of joy.

“It has given us a relief and it will give us the confidence going into our next match against El Kanemi.”
