Remo Stars coach displeased with performance despite win over Kano Pillars

Remo Stars head coach Daniel Ogunmodede has expressed displeasure with his side’s performance in their 2-1 victory over Kano Pillars in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 34 encounter in Ikenne on Saturday.

Captain Junior Nduka scored deep into stoppage time to secure victory for the hosts in a keenly contested match. Despite the win, Ogunmodede admitted that his team was not at their best.

“It was unbelievable and incredible. I never thought we could get the maximum three points with what happened in the game,” Ogunmodede said via the club’s X handle. “I think we had a not-too-good match but I must salute the courage of the boys and their resilience to keep fighting till the end.”

Ogunmodede critiqued his team’s performance, noting their struggles after taking an early lead. “We had a poor game. After we scored in the sixth minute, we went to sleep and we were seriously dealt with in the early stages of the second half. It’s obvious their plan was to rush in the opening period of the second half and it paid off with a blunder from my goalkeeper. It’s one of those things and the team generally didn’t do expectedly well.”

Remo Stars currently occupy the third position on the NPFL table with 59 points from 34 matches. Football fans can follow the NPFL on Beta Sports channel 244 on StarTimes.
