After a lacklustre performance in their previous match in Owerri, Sporting Lagos supporters were eager for a swift return to winning ways.

However, despite controlling much of the game, particularly in the second half, they could not find the back of the net.

Abakaliki's goalkeeper was instrumental in securing a point for his team, making several crucial saves that kept Sporting at bay.

Following the match, fans expressed their frustration on social media. One supporter lamented, “You people are moving like Chelsea o. Strikers should be converting and not passing ball in box 18. New season, new habit abeg.”

Another fan echoed the sentiment, saying, “We don start Abi. We all agreed on going back to the NPFL.”

These comments tell a story of the growing impatience among fans who are keen to see their team perform better.

As Sporting Lagos looks to bounce back from this setback, they will need to address their finishing issues if they hope to climb the NNL standings.

With the pressure mounting from supporters and expectations high for a return to form, the team must regroup and focus on converting opportunities into goals in their next fixtures.

The draw against Abakaliki serves as a reminder that while possession is important, it is ultimately goals that secure points and victories.

Sporting Lagos will need to find their scoring touch quickly if they want to fulfil their ambitions this season - a return to the elite division, NPFL.
