Nasarawa United head coach, Kabiru Dogo has challenged his players to look beyond the home loss to Kwara United and seek improvement on their goals conversion as they prepare for a trip to Uyo against Akwa United this weekend.
Despite dictating the pace of the game, the Solid Miners slumped to a 1-0 loss courtesy of Emmanuel Ogbole’s 45th minute strike and though the Harmony Boys were reduced to 10 men in the second half following Victor Adeoye’s second bookable offence in the 69th minute, they held on for a famous three points.
Dogo called the result disappointing outcome because they had the opportunity to bury Kwara United with goals which were frittered away but he told his boys to forget about the home loss but gear all efforts towards the clash with Akwa United in Uyo.
“It’s a disappointing result for us today even though we played well. But I believe we will get things right,” Dogo said. “We didn’t take our chances, especially in the second half when our opponents were a man down with a red card.
“They had just one or two chances, and they took advantage of that. We take it in good faith and look forward to bouncing back in our next game.”
The Coach Kabir Dogo-led wards will next travel to Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State on Sunday, 17th November, 2024, seeking redemption on matchday 12, before embarking on a cross-country journey over to Jos, Plateau State, a week later, for another North-Central derby clash with Plateau United.
