Boboye: We didn't utilize our chances against USM Alger

By Taofeek Babalola

Plateau United head coach Kennedy Boboye has expressed his disappointment over his team's performances despite their 2-1 win against USM Alger in the first leg CAF Confederation Cup play-off match at the Agege Stadium on Saturday, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.

King Osaga opened scoring for Plateau United in the 19th minute before Ben Yaya Faouza equalised for Alger in the 56 minutes. Emma James scored the winners for the hosts in the 73rd minute.

Speaking after the match, Boboye said his team wasted so many scoring opportunities and that was responsible for their slim win over USM Alger.

He said the team will not relent on their efforts to get a good result in the second leg in Algeria in two weeks time.

"I am not really happy with the outcome of the match. We didn't utilize our chances well which was responsible for our slim win. If we had converted our chances we could have scored so many goals. We will go back home to continue our hard work and look at the areas where we have to make corrections and improve on it," Boboye said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

The former Sunshine Stars of Akure manager said that playing away from their home ground did not have anything to do with the result against USM Alger.

"Lagos is Nigeria and Nigeria belongs to everybody. I don't think playing away from home has nothing to do with outcome of the match. We can play anywhere. All we need to do is to get it right wherever we play our game."
