Lobi Stars head Coach, Muhammed Baba Ganaru has tasked the team to move on from the defeat to Wikki Tourists in their latest NPFL match.

A brace from Wikki Tourists’ captain, Idris Guda helped the host team to halt Lobi Stars’ six-match unbeaten streak in a three-goal thriller on Matchday 8.

Idris gave Wikki an early lead from the penalty spot after Lobi Stars’ midfielder, Francis Odinaka handled the ball in the box.

The visitors wasted numerous chances, before Abba Umar finally equalized in the 34th minute. His thunderous left-footed strike; from 25 meters, left goalkeeper Galadima rooted.

But the equalizer was short-lived, six minutes before half-time, Guda struck again to restore the lead for the home side with a solo effort.

Lobi Stars missed several chances to level the game in the second forty-five minutes, with Barnabas Imenger guilty of missing the last opportunity.

“Generally, it was a good match, the boys played very well, they showed a very good character and discipline both in defense and attack, but lost so many good chances to comeback after conceding an early penalty, after that we fought back to get a comeback but it was not meant to be,” Baba Ganaru said.

On his part, Wikki Tourist’s head coach, Abdullahi Adamu said it was a good result for his team, having defeated a good side like Lobi Stars.

“It was a very good match, I thank God for the victory, the most important thing is to secure the three points which God has granted us, I am grateful,” He stated.
