Nasarawa Dim Yobe Stars In NPFL
Nasarawa United have climbed above the relegation zone after spanking Yobe Desert Stars 3-0 in a delayed Nigeria Professional Football League game.
The Solid Miners went in front in the 33rd minute when Abubakar Sadiq found the net from close range before Thomas Zenke doubled the lead.
Midfielder Kabiru Balogun put the game beyond the visitors with a brilliant strike in the 77th minute.
Head coach of Yobe, Mohammed Baba-Ganaru, blamed the defeat on the weather and his players’ casual disposition.
“No, it was not fatigue. We arrived very early and rested very well. I think it is the weather. You know in the far north now, it is very cold and when we came here, it was very hot,” he said.
“Also, we started the game very casually, especially in the first half. Though we did better in the second half.”
On his part, Kabiru Dogo of the Solid Miners said, “The team is improving, but the area of goal scoring is the problem. Today, at least there is an improvement on that.
”So, it is just a matter of time. We will get to the level we want. I am very happy with the result.”
