Gombe United stuns Remo Stars FC with away draw

Posted : 14 April 2023
Gombe United FC at the Match Day 12 of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) snatched an away point against the high flying Remo Stars FC.

The away team forced the Sky Blue team a barren draw in Ikenne, Ogun state.

During the terse match, Dayo Ojo of Gombe United FC got the marching order in the 43 minutes for a bookable offence of reckless stamping on Igbudu Apam.

The match which kicked off at four o'clock in the evening was called off after the referee Ukah Nduibisi from Imo state refused to come out from the dressing room for the second half as he was alleged to have been assaulted.

The players waited on the pitch for almost an hour waiting for the match officials; it was later communicated that the match would not continue.

The match which later continued at 8:15 on Monday morning with the reserve referee taking charge after the referee refused to continue with the match for alleged assault on him, was full of tension, caution and anxiety.

Both sides missed pockets of goal chances especially in the 81minutes when Lucky Vandi who beat his marker from the right before sending a ferocious left footed shot from the edge of the box only for goalkeeper Bankole Kayode to make a finger tip save.

Coach Aliyu Zubairu of Gombe United while reacting to the outcome of the match said it was a tough encounter playing with a man down as each player will work to cover for the sent off player.

``When they got the red card, I said the match is going to be difficult for us as every single player from the opposing side will work extra to  cover up for the missing player,all the same we thank God for the point".

Despite some lapses, the Savannah Scorpions gaffer applauded his lads for their doggedness and perseverance.

On their next fixture against Elkanemi Warriors, which is a Northeast derby; Aliyu Zubairu said any team at the bottom is like a wounded lion, hence, they are going to take the match with all seriousness.

The Match Day 13 will come up on Sunday, April 9 at the Pantami stadium, Gombe by 4 o'clock in the evening.
