2023/2024 NPFL Match Day 32: Savannah Scorpions' Win Over Lobi Stars Worthwhile, Says Coach

Posted : 30 April 2024

Haruna Abdullahi, the coach of Gombe United, says his team played for pride against Lobi Stars of Makurdi, defeating the visitors 3-2.

 

The Savannah Scorpions staged a comeback after conceding a goal in the first minute of play.

 

The Match Day 32 fixture of the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) was played on Sunday at the Pantami Township Stadium in Gombe.

 

Reacting to the match, Abdullahi said teams visiting Gombe United often underrated his team because of their position on the NPFL log, hence the need to prove them wrong.

 

He said his team would continue to stun any team visiting Gombe despite being currently in the relegation zone.

 

“We won to protect our integrity, whether we will be relegated or not.

 

“The last match we played, some were of the opinion that we sold the match.

 

“Today, we played for the pride of the club.

 

“Notwithstanding being in the relegation zone or not, we are Team Gombe, and we will continue to play for the pride of the club,” he said.

 

Abdullahi said although his team had some challenges, he noted that the team was good and always battle-ready to take on any team in the NPFL.

 

On how they defeated their visitors, he said: “It is all about determination; our players were determined to win the game for the pride of the team, and they did.”

 

Abdullahi urged fans of the club to continue to support Gombe United, and in no distant time, the team would return to the NPFL.

 

Recall that Emmanuel Michael equalized for Gombe United in the 23rd minute of play, while a brace from Anayor Ogbonna in the 74th and 82nd minute respectively completed the three goals for the hosts.

 

Lobi Stars’ goals were scored by Christian Aniche in the first minute and Stanley Oganbor in the 90th minute.
