Gokana Utd Ambushes Omaka FC, Today …GM Charges Team To Sustain Form

Nigeria’s Nationwide Division 2B league leaders, Gokana United FC, Rivers State, is set to increase its points haul and leadership today as it hosts sister club, Omaka FC of Port Harcourt in a Week Seven encounter at the Bera field in Gokana.

It is a match the hosts, 3-0 winners in the reverse fixture are expected to win to further cement their position on the long and get closer to promotion at the end of the season.

Gokana United currently tops its group with 14 points from six matches, having won four and drawn two matches, without tasting defeat so far in the season.

However, the club lost its record of not conceding a goal home and away this season when its defence was breached last weekend via the penalty spot in Owerri by Bussdor FC. It was the week six match which Gokana United was poised to win after scoring early in the match.

But a late minute penalty awarded to the homers ensured that Gokana lost their proud record and shared the points at stake.

As they host Omaka FC today, the club’s General Manager, Ambassador Solomon Lah has challenged the team to sustain its performance, ensure comprehensive victory and remain focused on the task of wining the group and securing promotion at the end of the season.

According to Lah, “The players, coaches and all officials must continue to work hard to maintain top spot in the league.

‘Also, through its performances, the team must reciprocate management’s gesture of prompt payment of entitlements and the fans’ show of love and support.’

Tidesports gathered that arrangement is in place to facilitate a good game under a good environment, while football fans have been urged to attend the match in their numbers.
