The coach of Heartland International FC, Emmanuel Amuneke, has blamed his team's 1-1 draw against Bayelsa United in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 28 on the wastefulness of his players in front of goal.
The soft-spoken coach claimed a lack of cutting edge in front of goal as Heartland drew 1-1 with Akwa United at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri, on Sunday.
The Naze Millionaires failed to win for the fourth consecutive game following another frustrating evening in front of goal.
The former champions have scored only twice in their last four league outings.
“Every game we have played, our objective was to win. Now, it’s not just about winning again; I’m worried about our failure to convert chances,” Amuneke said after the game.
“Now, we find it difficult to convert our chances, which is a serious concern for me.
“If you really understand this game, you would see that we controlled the game against Bayelsa United. This is football: when you don’t get it right, it feels like all your effort is wasted.
“As I said, I’m worried about that because it also affected us in Lagos.
“As a coach, I need to go back and look at what we can do in that area.”
