Speaking later, Baba Ganaru, the Head Coach of Lobi Stars FC, said he was happy that his players performed very well and they were in complete control of the game.
He however said his players would have performed far better than they did if not for the fatigue the suffered from playing three matches in one week.
“I am optimistic that we will surely not go on relegation, even though we have only one home match and there are two away matches to play before the season ended,” Ganaru said.
On his part, Danlamin Umar, the coach of Dakkada FC, said that he was also happy with his players’ performance in spite of the defeat.
“My players did their best, even though they were not fortunate to score or win.”
