Coach Olajide began by dissecting the performance, emphasizing the stark contrast between the two halves of the match. He stated, “Well, it’s a game of two halves, you know, the first 45 minutes we controlled the game.

They had no chance on target, created no opportunities, and we had about four scoring chances.” The coach highlighted the opportunities that slipped through their fingers during the first half, mentioning players like Jamil and Semiu, who came agonizingly close to finding the net.

However, the second half of the match saw Gbagada FC struggling to maintain their dominance. Coach Olajide acknowledged this, saying, “In the second 45 minutes, we were not just within the better side.” This contrast in performance between the halves may have played a significant role in the ultimate outcome of the game.
