Remo Stars Gaffer Okagbue: We Were Unlucky

Remo Stars crashed one-nil to Go Round in the match day five of the Nigeria National League at the Krisdera Stadium in Omoku on Friday.<br /><br />It was another defeat on the road for the Sky Blue Stars in the on-going NNL campaign.<br /><br />The early showers in the day presented both sides with a soaked pitch which ensured most of the football played was in the air.<br /><br />As expected both teams played to their strengths as Go Round were rewarded with a 21st minute strike from Worlu Stanley as he was at the end of&nbsp; a lobbed ball to give the home side the lead.<br /><br />The response was expected as the Sky Blue Stars showed intent to get back into the game and were rewarded with chances which was left begging to be converted.<br /><br />Head Coach of the visiting team, Uche Okagbue couldn&rsquo;t hide his disappointment, as he attributed the loss of the team to be unlucky as well as commending the match officials of the game.<br /><br />&ldquo;It was a good game, luck wasn&rsquo;t just on our side in this game and I must commend the level of officiating am really impressed.<br /><br />&ldquo;In football we have 3 results either you win, lose or you draw. We came here with the intention of getting 3 points or least a point but we going back with none,&rdquo; Okagbue said<br /><br />He added : &ldquo; We have lost 2 away games before now with the same scoreline. <br /><br />&ldquo; We just have to go back home and ensure in our next away game we have a better performance, we have lost our previous away games by a slim margin and I believe soon we will get a result on the road.&rdquo; <br /><br />Winger Oche Salefu also couldn&rsquo;t hide the disappointment as he and his teammates couldn&rsquo;t convert one of the chances presented as they deserve to go home with 3points<br /><br />&ldquo;I am not so happy we are going home with nothing, we played so well to earn a point.<br /><br />&ldquo;Go Round were just lucky to have gotten the first half goal. In the second half we played mostly in their half and we should have scored but we didn&rsquo;t and that&rsquo;s just how football is.&rdquo;
