NPFL’23: We suffered laxity and were naive in front goal – Akwa United Coach

Following  their 2-0 loss on the Nest of Champions within the  NPFL 2022/2023 season opener, Akwa United Coach, Deji Ayeni has reacted to the defeat on Sunday.

Ayeni attributed his workforce’s loss to errors that would have been prevented particularly within the first half of the encounter.

Bendel Insurance coverage had returned after three years and 7 months to the league to beat the previous champions within the first match of the season.

Imade Osehenkhoe and Ismael Seriki’s first-half objectives secured the win for Insurance coverage.

”Soccer could be very dynamic, what you bargained for may not be what you will notice however I believe within the first half we suffered laxity and have been naive in entrance of objectives.

It’s fairly unlucky that the 2 objectives have been a mistake and being the primary sport a number of expectations on the workforce.

The sport of soccer is, both manner, right this moment Insurance coverage has received it proper and I consider the league is a marathon something can occur.

We did a bit higher within the second half however the god of soccer is just not on our facet.

He was upbeat of his facet returning to successful methods of their subsequent sport.

“We’ll return and work on our errors”, he mentioned.

Akwa United will play Enyimba of Aba of their match fixture on Wednesday, eleventh January, 2023.
