Enyimba’s head coach, Finidi George, was left frustrated after his team’s loss to Lobi Stars in the Nigeria Premier Football League. The defending champions suffered a 1-0 defeat in a contentious match at the Lafia City Stadium.
The winning goal was scored by Alao Danbani, but Finidi George believes that his team was denied a clear penalty during the game. He criticized the officials for their poor handling of the match, questioning the fairness of the decisions made.
“We should expect better officiating in this league. It’s disappointing when a clear penalty is not given. We need to improve the standards. Is it necessary for the home team to always come out on top?” Finidi expressed his frustration.
Despite the loss, Finidi remains optimistic about his team’s performance, stating that they had the better chances to win the game overall. He emphasized the importance of playing fair and not resorting to deceitful tactics to secure victory.
Enyimba now sits in fourth place in the league standings after the defeat. They will be looking to bounce back in their next game against Heartland, their oriental rivals, as they aim to climb back up the table.
The disappointment of the defeat lingers, but Finidi George and his team are determined to regroup and show their true potential in the upcoming matches. The road ahead may be challenging, but Enyimba remains focused on their goal of success in the Nigeria Premier Football League.
