Euromatch NPFL: Ikorodu City Assistant Coach Expresses Frustration Over Home Draw Against Inter Lagos

Ikorodu City assistant coach Washington Egor has attributed his side’s 2-2 home draw against Inter Lagos to a late loss of concentration.

The Oga Boys surrendered a late lead to settle for a point against their local rivals in Monday night’s Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL , matchday 12 encounter at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, Lagos.

Ikorodu City appeared set for victory after taking a 2-1 lead into the closing stages of the match.

However, a costly defensive lapse in stoppage time allowed Inter Lagos to snatch an equaliser.

Defender Tomisin Adebayo attempted to prevent the ball from going out for a corner by keeping it in play on the goal line.

Egor Laments Home Draw

Reacting after the encounter, Egor expressed disappointment at his side’s inability to hold on to their advantage, blaming a lapse in concentration for the dropped points.

“What can we do? There was nothing else to do because we lost concentration towards the end of the game. The game came as a draw. I think with a point, we have to manage it,” he told the NPFL media.

Ikorodu City will now turn their attention to their next league fixture, where they face a difficult away trip to Enyimba.
