By Wale Mustapha

Head Coach of Akwa United, Fatai Osho has attributed momentary loss of focus for his team’s 5-3 defeat to Bayelsa United in the opening day of Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL season.

The Promise Keepers surrendered their lead threw times before falling to the defeat at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa as the match also produced the first hat trick of the season from Robert Mizo of Bayelsa United.

Irked Osho expressed displeasure in how his team lost match having conceded three goals in the closing 15 minutes, while retaining hope of a possible comeback in coming match.

“It’s a big shame that we are losing this type of game the way we did. We were in total control and deserved to have come out with all three points but lots of elementary errors on our part cost us the win,” he told the club’s media.

“At this level of football you can’t make such mistakes because if you do you get punished and that is exactly what happened to us in this game. It’s unbelievable that we scored three goals and didn’t win or get a point out of this game.

“We have to quickly address all noticeable mistakes so we can come out strong in our next game.”
