FC One Rocket lose first match against Sporting Lagos

Posted : 03 July 2023
Former National team player and Coach of FC One Rocket of Eket, Coach Ndubuisi Ndah on Sunday rueid his side's missed chances against Sporting Lagos FC on Sunday and also assured that the lapses noticed would be corrected.

The former international said his team's failure to score was due to injury to some of his key players.

He also averred that the team would be better in their next match as they still have the opportunity of gaining promotion to the premier league.

Africa Sport Network (ASN) reports that the match between FC One Rocket of Eket and Sporting Lagos on the Day 1 of the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 playoffs was settled with an 87th minute strike by Odafe Onyemaechi of Sporting Football Club of Lagos.

The match was the opening match of the Southern Conference in the NNL Super Eight playoff at Steven Keshi International Stadium Asaba.

The Lagos-based outfit scored the goal during a goal mouth scramble after near misses by a couple of Sporting FC players before Onyemaechi tapped into the loose ball to settle matters.

Both sides had missed some glaring chances in the tension-soaked encounter, but resilient from both defences kept the scores decent.

The Coach of Sporting FC, Paul Offor on the other side congratulated his side for picking an all-important win.

He thereafter urged the players not to loose focus, saying it was too early to jubilate, asserting that they must get the job done in their second game.

FC One Rocket will next face Heartland of Owerri, while Sporting FC Lagos tackles Stormers Sports Club of Abeokuta.

In the Northern Conference Kano Pillars won their opening match by a lone goal against EFCC FC of Abuja and will have the next clash with DMD who lost 2-1 to Katsina United.
