NPFL: Ganaru Blames Referee For Loss

The Manager of Nasarawa United Football Club of Lafia, Mohammed Baba Ganaru, has blamed the central referee for his team’s loss against Rivers United FC in the match day 13 of the Nigeria Professional Football League ( NPFL) played Wednesday, in Port Harcourt.
According to him, he is not the type of coach that lays emphasis on officials. They are human being also and are prone to making mistakes.
Ganaru made the assertion last Wednesday while briefing sports journalist just after they were defeated 1-0 by Rivers United FC of Port Harcourt at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt.
“Referees are human being like me they also make mistakes. We have a clear penalty but it was not awarded. It was a good game,” Ganaru admitted.
He explained that he was going back to Lafia to ensure he recovers the lost points in Port Harcourt.
“The way we played in Port Harcourt, we want to use the same medium to play against our opponent in our next game,” he said.
Also speaking, the striker of Rivers United FC, Ossy Martins who scored the only goal of the encounter expressed happiness for scoring his second goal in the season.
“I  feel  very much happy today to give my team the winning goal. I believe it is possible for United to top the league this season. I know we are going to get the desired result,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the Technical Manager of Rivers United FC, Stanley Eguma, refused to speak with sports journalist, saying that his media aide asked him not to have media briefing.
