“We played against a good side” – Kennedy Boboye on win over Nasarawa United

By Wale Mustapha

Sunshine Stars Technical Adviser, Kennedy Boboye, has acknowledged that his side worked hard to secure their narrow victory against Nasarawa United.

The Owena Whales triumphed 1-0 over their visitors from Lafia in the Matchday Eight fixture of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) on Sunday.

The match, held at the Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu-Ode, saw Opeoluwa Olufemi score the decisive goal for the hosts.

Boboye praised his players for holding on to the slim lead but admitted that it could have been a different result had Nasarawa United found the back of the net.

“We played against a good side, coached by an experienced coach,” Boboye told media.

“It was a very tough game for us today, as we didn’t play the way we usually dominate teams.”

He continued, “Had we conceded a goal, it would have been a different result”.

With the victory, Sunshine Stars moved up to fourth place on the NPFL table. They will now face Plateau United in their next fixture.
