Enyimba head coach, Finidi George cut a disappointed figure following his side\u2019s defeat to Lobi Stars at the Lafia City Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The title holders went down to a 1-0 defeat in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, matchday 29 fixture.<\/p>\n
Alao Danbani scored the winning goal for Lobi Stars in game.<\/p>\n
The Peoples Elephant, according to Finidi, were denied a clear penalty in the encounter.<\/p>\n
The 53-year-old berated the officials for their poor handling of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should be better than this in terms of officiating. We have to be better than this. When you have a penalty and you don\u2019t give it, what do you expect? Is it a must that the home team must win?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery time the same thing happens and we keep talking about making the league better. That was a chance and they got the goal but if you look at the game overall, we had the better possibility to have won the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are running our race. We are playing at home in our next game and we want to play and win properly, not in a deceitful way. If you check all our games, we don\u2019t cheat anybody. When you get to this dicey period of the league and you see things like this, it\u2019s shameful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Enyimba dropped to fourth position in the table following the defeat.<\/p>\n
The Aba giants will host oriental rivals, Heartland, in their next game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
