NNL Super 8 : Doma Coach blames bad officiating for team’s loss to Yobe Desert Stars
Coach of Doma FC, Akinade Onigbinde has blamed bad officiating for his team’s 1-2 loss to Yobe Desert Stars in their Match Day 2. encounter at the ongoing NNL 8 Play- offs presently going on at Stephen Keshi Stadium Asaba, the Delta State Capital.
His team lost the match they dominated in the first half due to complacency on the part of his players in the greater part of second half but Onigbinde believes that pressure from the bench of his opponents made the 1st Assistant referee to make some questionable calls that resulted in the free kick that gave victory to his opponents.
But when reminded that the goal was as a result of poor judgement from his goalkeeper, he insisted that the match officials were not fair to his team but was quick to add that not minding the outcome of the result, they will take their next match against Barau FC serious
” I want to state that we didn’t lose the match because our opponents were better than us but the match officials allowed pressure from the bench of Yobe Desert Stars to overwhelm them which led to their taking some questionable decisions that led to the second goal.
” But we’re not going to allow the loss to affect us in our last Group game against Barau FC because anything is still possible”, he concluded
With this result, Doma FC is now having a point, having drew one and lost one game
