Giwa FC Technical
Adviser Gbenga Ogunbote was emotional over a warm reception accorded him by the
Ibadan fans on Sunday during his side’s 2-1 defeat to Shooting Stars Sports
Club of Ibadan in the match day five Nigeria Professional Football League
(NPFL).
Ogunbote
played his first league game at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan
on Sunday after leaving 3SC to join Giwa FC at the beginning of the season.
Izu Joseph
put 3SC ahead in the 2nd minute with a header and substitute Umar
Kabir took it to two in the 88th minute before Isiaki Olawale scored
a consolation goal in the 91st minute to the disappointment of the
home fans who blamed goalie Emmanuel Fabiyi for the unpardonable error.
"It was
a balanced game but we never believed we are going to lose but losing means we
have to go back to drawing board. I never expected the kind of warm reception I
got that underscored the fact that Ibadan fans are good people, I love them,”
Ogunbote said.
