NPFL: Plateau United paid price for carelessness in Doma United draw – Ogunbote

Plateau United technical adviser, Gbenga Ogunbote, has expressed disappointment over his side’s slow start in their matchday five clash against Doma United.

The Peace Boys fought back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw against their hosts at the Pantami Stadium on Wednesday night.

Doma United took a commanding 2-0 lead through a brace from Michael Adegbite, but Plateau United responded with goals from Gideon Monday and Paul Samson to earn a share of the spoils.

Ogunbote admitted that his team was careless in conceding both goals.

“It was good that we were able to get this one point; it wasn’t an easy one,” Ogunbote said in his post-match interview.

“I think we were careless to concede those two goals. As much as we appreciate the one point, it was like a two-goal loss.”

The experienced coach also called on the club’s supporters to continue backing the team as they work to build greater cohesion.

“All I will say is for the fans to continue to support us in every capacity because the team is still a work in progress,” he added.

“The synergy between the new and old players is not there yet, but we will get it right in subsequent matches.”
