POST-MATCH REPORT
LOBI STARS CLAIM 2-1 WIN AGAINST BAYELSA UNITED
Lobi Stars returned to winning ways on matchday 9 in the Nigeria Premier Football League, overcoming Bayelsa United 2-1 to claim an important win at Lafia City Stadium.
Technical Adviser Daniel Amokachi’s tactical changes yielded dividends, notably in midfield.
Jimmy Iteji and Peter Onah’s partnership with Assurance Ifeanyi produced the desired pressure forcing Bayelsa United defender Gabriel Bariduba to clear the ball under pressure for a corner kick.
Suur Kumaga capitalized on a corner kick and delivered a pinpoint cross, enabling Martins Ossy to head the ball into the net, changing the scoreline to 1-0 in the 22nd minute.
Despite Bayelsa United’s equalizer through Ibrahim Yahaya’s penalty, Ossy’s second goal in the 57th minute sealed the needed victory for the Yes Father Boys as the encounter ended 2-1.
The win elevated Lobi Stars to 17th position with 9 points.
Amokachi lauded his team’s resilience and adaptability, emphasizing continued improvement during his post-match reaction to the Lobi Stars Media Team.
Next, Lobi Stars will face Remo Stars in Ogun State on matchday 10.
