Team Manager of Abia Warriors Football Club of Umuahia, Kennedy Boboye has assured supporters that the 0-1 loss the team suffered in Warri against Warri Wolves will not derail the club’s ambition of winning the league or picking a continental ticket at the end of the season.
The defeat ended the club’s 10-match unbeaten run in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Boboye noted that he would have loved the unbeaten run to continue, adding that the defeat was disappointing to him and the entire team.
He however, assured that they have put the defeat behind them and will now work towards ensuring that they bounce back in subsequent matches.
“We put up a gallant fight here (Warri) but narrowly lost. This is not the end of the road for us. We will go back home, correct our mistakes and bounce back to winning ways”, Boboye stated.
The former Sunshine Stars of Akure tactician commended his boys for their efforts during the game despite the odds against them insisting that victory could have gone either way.
During the match, king Osanga scored the only goal in the 53rd minute and despite pinning their hosts to their own half for almost the entre second half, Abia Warriors could not find the equalizer.
Before the loss in Warri, Abia Warriors were the only unbeaten side in the top flight as they equaled Enyimba International’s 10-match unbeaten streak which they established last season. Abia Warriors remain second on the log with 20 points from 11 matches.
