Sporting Lagos coach Ebobo has praised his team’s impressive performance following their 3-1 victory over Dino Sporting Club in the TCC Cup, describing the result as a positive step forward for his side.
Sports247 reports that Sporting Lagos dominated large spells of the encounter, taking a two-goal lead in the first half before adding a third after the break. Abuchi, Faisal and Adabo were all on target for Sporting Lagos, while Dino Sporting Club managed a late consolation goal.
Speaking after the match, Ebobo expressed satisfaction with his team’s overall display, saying: “I think we were the better team overall. The opening 30, 35 minutes, we controlled the game really well.”
Sports247 gathered that Sporting Lagos briefly struggled to maintain their dominance after Dino Sporting Club changed their pressing approach, forcing the hosts to adjust their build-up play.
Reflecting on that period, Ebobo explained: “They changed the way they pressed us, so we couldn’t build up effectively. Then they started winning the ball a little bit higher and had a few chances.”
However, the Sporting Lagos coach was pleased with his team’s response after the interval, as they regained control and extended their advantage through Adabo.
“We started the second half again really good. We got another goal, made it 3-0, and then the game was kind of comfortable,” he added.
Ebobo also emphasised the importance of scoring early, noting that the two-goal cushion helped his players approach the game with greater confidence.
“Two-goal cushion really helped us feel more settled and more comfortable in what we’re doing,” he stated.
Looking ahead, the coach revealed that his players would take a day’s rest before returning to training to begin preparations for their next weekend fixture.
