Plateau United technical adviser Gbenga Ogunbote voiced frustration after his team were held to a 1-1 home draw by Warri Wolves in their Matchday 11 fixture at New Jos Stadium on Sunday.
Key takeaways
- Warri Wolves went ahead through Emmanuel Aribogha in the 24th minute.
- Samuel Ayanrinde levelled the contest for Plateau United around the hour mark.
- Plateau United remain sixth in the league standings on 16 points after 11 matches.
- The Jos-based side’s next league assignment is an away trip to Nasarawa United in Lafia.
Missed home opportunity
The Peace Boys pushed for a decisive second goal after restoring parity, but Warri Wolves maintained a disciplined defensive shape and prevented the home team from finding a breakthrough.
Ogunbote said anxiety and rushed decision-making undermined Plateau United’s efforts in a closely fought match.
“It was an unfortunate result. There was a lot of anxiety among my players,” Ogunbote said after the game. “They were attempting things too quickly in their effort to score, but unfortunately we kept getting things wrong. It is another disappointing draw at home for us.”
Next fixture
The draw leaves Plateau United in sixth place with 16 points collected from 11 league games. The club will now head to Lafia for its next domestic league match against Nasarawa United.
