Lobi Stars Assistant Coach Hails Team’s Resilience After 2-2 Draw
Lobi Stars assistant coach, Tar Akombo, expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance in their 2-2 draw against Shooting Stars at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan. The match saw Joshua Akpen give Shooting Stars an 18th-minute lead before Ossy Martins equalized for Lobi Stars just after the half-hour mark. Martins then put the visitors ahead before halftime, but Sadiq Ibrahim restored parity for the home side in the 51st minute.
Lobi Stars were reduced to 10 men after Martins was sent off in the 77th minute. Akombo acknowledged that while they aimed for all three points, they were grateful for the draw, believing it could be a turning point for the team. Lobi Stars will now prepare to host Niger Tornadoes in the North Central derby next Wednesday.
