Akwa United head coach Paul Offor expressed disappointment after the team’s 1‑1 draw with Godswill Akpabio FC at Uyo Township Stadium on Sunday. Although the Promise Keepers generated several clear‑cut chances, they failed to convert any into goals. Offor told the club’s media, “I’m impressed with their performance. The result does not reflect our effort. We played very well and created clear‑cut chances, but it’s disappointing that we couldn’t take them.”
The coach praised his players’ fighting spirit, which enabled them to secure a point. “Our ball play is improving, and I commend my boys for fighting back to get something from the game,” he added. While the draw shows progress, Offor emphasized the need to improve finishing to turn opportunities into wins.
The result leaves Akwa United with a shared point, but the team still has time to regroup as the Nigerian football season is in its early stages. Offor’s focus on the players’ performance and their ability to create scoring chances is a positive sign, and the Promise Keepers will look to build on this in upcoming fixtures. As the season progresses, they aim to enhance consistency, convert chances into victories, and push for top positions in the league table under Offor’s leadership.
