NPFL: Heartland FC coach Emmanuel Amunike rues missed chances against Bayelsa United

By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

After a 1-1 draw with Bayelsa United, the head coach of Heartland FC, Emmanuel Amunike is not happy with his side missing chances.

Suraju Lawal equalised Issa Yusuf’s opener for Bayelsa United six minutes after the host went behind at the Dan Anyiam Stadium.

The FIFA U-17 World Cup winning coach now has to look for solution to the missed chances.

“Every game we have played our objective was to win. Now is not about winning again, I’m worried about our failure to convert chances,” Amuneke said after the game.

“Now, we find it difficult to convert our chances, which is a serious concern for me.

“If you really understand this game, you could see we controlled the game against Bayelsa United, this is football when you don’t get it right it look like all your effort is wasted.
Like I said, i’ m worried about that because it also affected us in Lagos.

“As a coach I need to go back and look at what we can do in that area.”

In 15th position with 34 points, the Naze Millionaires is two points and places above relegation zone.
