The Umuahia club defeated the Harmony Boys 4-3 on penalties in their President Federation Cup Round of 16 tie.
The game ended 1-1 in regulation time.
Oji, however, commended his players for adapting to the harsh weather conditions.
“In football, you can’t play the same way every week and the pitch and the hot weather also affected the players when the sun was out,” he stated in a post-match interview.
“But I thank God we were able to adapt early to get the job done.”
Abia Warriors will take on Sokoto United in the quarterfinals of the competition.
