The fan, speaking after the match, described the encounter as a tough debut match but said Sporting Lagos deserved more from the game based on their overall performance.
According to Andy, Sporting Lagos played the better football but failed to make their chances count in the final stages of the game.
“I was actually disappointed with the performance from the team I supported,” the fan said, while adding that he would still accept the point earned from the encounter.
Andy also singled out Sporting Lagos defender, Abraham Idakwo as his personal man of the match, praising the player for his versatility and ability to help the team play the ball out from the back.
“He was very, very versatile. He was solid, playing our ball out, and he was my own man of the match,” he said.
Before the final whistle, the fan admitted that he had expected Sporting Lagos to win the game with at least 1-0, but was ultimately satisfied with the point after neither side managed to break the deadlock.
He described the atmosphere inside the stadium as “electrifying,” praising the supporters for creating a lively environment throughout the encounter.
“It was just the proper Lagos derby that we’ve been expecting , and I hope that as the league goes on, we will see more of this kind of Lagos derby,” he added.
The supporter, however, identified finishing as the major area Sporting Lagos need to improve, urging the players to work on their composure in front of goal during training.
“Sporting Lagos were the better team. They played very well. But their finishing was very poor,” he said.
The goalless draw leaves both sides sharing the points as Sporting Lagos continue their campaign, with their supporter hoping the team can turn their attacking performance into goals in subsequent matches.
