NPFL: Deji Ayeni Satisfied as Doma United Earn Point Against Abia Warriors

Doma United boss Deji Ayeni says he is satisfied with his team’s 2-2 draw away to Abia Warriors in Sunday’s NPFL Matchday 12 fixture in Umuahia.

Speaking after the match, Ayeni hailed the result as a useful point on the road and commended his players for showing character.

“Football is a dynamic game, and you cannot expect anything less. Today, I think we were a bit resilient, having drawn at home and won away too. So, this point is a big relief for us as we go to concentrate on our next home game,” Ayeni said.

The Doma United coach also shed light on his tactical approach, stressing that he does not favour one fixed system but instead adjusts his game plan around each game.

“For those of you who have known me as the coach of this Doma team for a while now, you will know that defence is the best form of attack, and attack is the best form of defence. So, I don’t have a stereotype of playing with my players. Based on today’s match, our aim was to go all out, and if they score against us, we try to score them back.”

The result keeps Doma United in ninth place on the NPFL standings with 16 points, giving Ayeni’s men a platform to build on in their upcoming fixtures.
