After FC Robo Queens secured a 3-2 victory against Sunshine Queens at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Wednesday, team captain Esther Ndubuisi shared her thoughts in a post-match interview.
Ndubuisi began by expressing her perspective on the game dynamics, stating, “The game was supposed to go very easy for us from the beginning, but we lost so many chances.
We failed to take our chances in the first half. The only opportunity our opponent had, they converted it.
In the second half, it was not easy at all. I just want to give thanks to God because if not for Him, I am not sure we would be able to come back and win the game.” She told Sports247.
Reflecting on the team’s struggles to convert chances, she attributed it to team communication and player readiness, saying, “It is just team communication and using the right techniques to get the goal.

About two or three of our players that started the game just got back from the World Cup. So they have not been training with the team for about two to three weeks.
That is why I mentioned communication as one of the reasons that debarred us from not getting the goals during the first half.”
Addressing the awarded penalty, Ndubuisi clarified, “That was really a penalty. We already had one chance like that in the early minutes of the second half, which the referee refused to give us because she said it was a 50-50 ball, so we played on.
The one that was awarded was truly a clear penalty because our opponent seized our player’s legs from playing the ball.”
Looking ahead to their next match, Ndubuisi emphasized the need to enhance their goal-scoring techniques and capitalize on chances.
She said, “We need to work more on our goal-scoring technique and how to convert our chances.
