Players of
Nasarawa United missed the opportunity to get cash gist of a million naira and
plots of land in Karu promised them by the State Governor Tanko Al Makura after
they lost the final of the Federation Cup to FC IfeanyiUbah. The Solid
Miners were defeated by Anambra Warriors 5-4 on penalties after 0-0 on the
regulation time.
“His
excellency the Governor of Nasarawa State promised the boys plots of land and a
million Naira each to win the cup, but it was not meant to be,” said Nasarawa
chairman Isaac Danladi.
“We should
have won the match has our boys converted their scoring chances. They should
still be commended and appreciated for this yeoman’s job.”
The club boss
lamented that his team were not lucky on the day even with Governor Tanko Al
Makura watching from the stands of the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
“We were the
better team, but IfeanyiUbah were the luckier side and their tactics were more
effective,” he reviewed.
“They did
everything to drag the game to penalties, which they had practiced seriously
before this match. And a penalty shootout is anybody’s game.”
