Jeffery Buter Remains Positive After Sporting Lagos Loss
Sporting Lagos suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Abia Warriors on Sunday, marking their first home loss since returning to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). Coach Jeffery Buter remains optimistic, stating that one defeat does not define their season.
The match, held at Onikan Stadium, saw Ikoi Etta score the opening goal in the 88th minute, followed by Emeka Obioma, a former NPFL top scorer, who sealed the victory with a second goal in the 90th minute. Sporting Lagos had previously won 3-0 against Inter Lagos but now sits 15th on the table with three points from three matches.
Buter acknowledged the support from fans despite the loss and emphasized the importance of moving forward, focusing on their upcoming match against Enyimba, who are also seeking their first points of the season after three defeats.
