Despite the result, Starbase Coach Olu Akinfolarin expressed his dissatisfaction with his players for almost letting the points slip. He told Sports247:
“I am not overly happy with my boys because they almost let the game slip. It could have ended in a draw. We would try to rectify that problem.”
Pressed on where he expects his team to be on the log come to the end of the championship, Olu said: “I want to be part of the first four and I still believe that when we work very hard we will get there.”
