Lobi Stars technical adviser, Daniel Amokachi has expressed disappointment following his team’s 1-0 defeat to Sunshine Stars in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 12 encounter.
“We fashioned scoring chances and enjoyed an advantage, but failed to seize it,” Amokachi lamented.
The Makurdi-based club dominated the game at the Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium in Ijebu Ode on Sunday but were undone by their inability to convert scoring chances.
Despite creating opportunities, Lobi Stars’ poor finishing proved costly. “The season from onset has been demanding; however, we remain steadfast,” Amokachi emphasized.
Amokachi acknowledged the team’s shortcomings and vowed to address them. “We will review, address our shortcomings, and persevere,” he assured.

The former Nigerian international is focused on the task ahead, stressing the need for collective improvement. The defeat serves as a wake-up call for Lobi Stars, who must regroup and refocus to achieve their season objectives. “We have to move from this defeat and focus on the next game,” Amokachi urged. “We can’t dwell on this loss; we have to learn from it and move forward.”
Lobi Stars will seek redemption when they host Kano Pillars in their next NPFL fixture on Sunday.
Amokachi is optimistic about the team’s chances, citing their resilience.
“The boys have shown they can play good football; we just need to work on our finishing,” he said. The team’s ability to bounce back will be crucial in their quest for NPFL success.
Amokachi’s challenge is to revitalize Lobi Stars’ NPFL campaign. With 12 matches played, the team must regain momentum to achieve their season goals. “We will work hard to get the desired results,” Amokachi promised.
The NPFL continues to deliver thrilling encounters, and fans can expect more excitement in the coming weeks.
Lobi Stars strive to bounce back and Amokachi’s leadership will be crucial in guiding the team toward success. “We remain steadfast, and we will persevere.”
