NPFL: Sunshine Stars coach rues missed chances

Sunshine Stars Head Coach, Kayode Julius, rued his side’s missed chances in the 1-1 draw against Bayelsa United on Sunday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that match day 29 of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) was played at the Ondo State Sports Complex in Akure.

Baylesa United took the lead in the first half of the game before Sunshine Stars  equalised in the second half.

Julius, in a post-match interview with newsmen, said the team was not happy with the result, saying his players missed many scoring chances.

“We told the players not to underrate the team because they are good at away games.

“We used three strikers in the first half, and we had lots of chances but couldn’t utilise them. It’s painful that we drew at home.

“Bayelsa United never had any clear chance against us; we gave them the cheap goal,” he said.

Julius appealed to fans and supporters of the club to continue supporting and praying for the club’s success.

“We are going to make the fans happy by not losing any games again. We are going to motivate the players psychologically and mentally.

“We are assuring them that we are not going to go into relegation,” he said.

The head coach of Baylesa United, Diepreye Teibowei, said it was a good game for his side, saying his plan was to win the game.

“We came here to win, but if we could not win, at least to get a share of the spoils, which we are happy with.

“We deserve to win the match; we played very well, and thank God for the result,” he said.(NAN)
