NFPL: Bayelsa United Coach Okara Blames Missed Chances for Defeat to Abia Warriors

Bayelsa United technical adviser Meremu Okara has blamed his side’s poor finishing for their 1-0 loss to Abia Warriors in their NPFL Matchday 33 encounter on Monday.

The defeat leaves Bayelsa United sitting 16th on the table as they continue to battle for survival in the closing stages of the season.

Speaking after the game, Okara admitted his team failed to make the most of their opportunities, which ultimately proved decisive.

“The game of football is all about creating and converting chances. We didn’t take our chances in the game, and it cost us,” Okara stated in a post-match interview.

“Abia Warriors scored their goal due to the carelessness of our defenders, we created about three chances which we didn’t take.”
