The Peace Boys faced a tough 3-1 loss at the Akure Township Stadium over the weekend, with Mangut acknowledging that his players struggled to capitalize on their opportunities during the match.
In a post-match interview, Mangut emphasized the long and challenging nature of the league, stating, “The league is really a marathon, you can see 60 per cent of what we are working on in the game.” He also highlighted the need for improvement, recognizing that Sunshine Stars were more clinical in front of goal.
