Seeing his team lose all three points despite a dominating performance in Agege, Sunshine Stars head coach, Gbenga Ogunbote said he was pleased with his boys’ performance despite the loss.
The Akure Gunners fell to an 8th-minute tap from Dennis Obasi after Akanni Elijah had cast open the defence with a pass-through to Clement Ogwu.
While speaking exclusively with Sport247 in a post-match interview on Sunday, the Oracle as he is fondly called said it was not a bad outing.
“I would not use the word bad, that’s football for you sometimes. People adjudged we played extremely well but the result matters, we didn’t get it right but we will take the positives from the game.”
When quizzed if the absence of Ogunniyi Omo Jesu who has reportedly moved to Latvia affected the team, the Aiteo Cup-winning coach said he would have loved to have him.
“I have not complained that but I would have loved to have him in the team but he’s not available.”
The Owena Waves return to Akure for mid-week actions for the first time this season with 1 win from three games.
