NPFL: We are targeting 65 points this season, says Dogo

Technical Adviser of Sunshine Stars, Kabir Dogo, says his team is targeting at least 65 points by the end of the ongoing 2019/2020 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

Dogo said this in his post-match interview, after his team defeated visiting Ifeanyi Ubah FC 2-0 in the match day 19 clash at the Ondo State Sports Complex, Akure on Sunday.

The gaffer said his team is playing better this season and ready to face any team in the league.

“Before the beginning of the season in Ibadan, we had a meeting with the players during which we targeted 65 points.

“Out of the 65 points now, we have achieved 30, we believe if we can secure 65 points, we can achieve continental ticket,” he said.

Sunshine Stars midfielders, Jose Fatokun and Anthony Omaka got the maximum points for the home team.

Fatokun opening goal was from Wasiu Jimoh’s corner kick in the 24th minute while Omaka emulated his midfield partner by scoring from a corner, also taken by Jimoh in the 30th minute to make it 2-0.

Dogo congratulated his players and the entire people of Ondo State for what the team had achieved in the first stanza of the league.

Coach of Ifeanyi Ubah, Uche Okagwe said his players lost the game due to lack of concentration and inexperience.

“We conceded those two goals due to lack of concentration, it’s lack of experience and lack of concentration from the boys; if you notice, they are all new players from non- league sides,” he said.

Okagwe however said he will plan Sunshine Stars’ downfall in the second stanza.

“We are going to pay them back in their own coins,” he assured.

Sunshine Stars is going into the mid season break with 30 points from 19 matches.(NAN)
