NPFL 27: Amas Obasogie rallies Insurance teammates against Kunkalifat FC

…Urges team to put Lafia setback behind them

​

Bendel Insurance skipper Amas Obasogie has issued a spirited rallying cry to his teammates, demanding an immediate response and maximum points when they host Kunkalifat FC in Sunday's NPFL Matchday 3 encounter at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.

​The Benin Arsenals are eager to bounce back from a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Nasarawa United, where missed chances proved costly. Speaking after Friday’s evening training session, Obasogie insisted that the setback in Lafia does not reflect the squad's true character and must not derail their ambition.

​"We were unlucky not to get a result in Lafia despite creating the better chances," Obasogie said. "We must eliminate sloppy mistakes across all departments, play as a cohesive unit, and stay sharp in front of goal."

​The shot-stopper emphasized that the squad maintains a fearless approach home or away. Warning against complacency ahead of Sunday's clash, he urged the team to secure a convincing home win before taking that momentum on the road in subsequent fixtures.

Recall that Bendel Insurance FC succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at Nasarawa United last Sunday in the Match Day 2 fixture of the Nigeria Premier Football League.

Sam Pam scored the only goal of the math for the Solid Miners in the 55th minute after heading the ball into an empty net,following a long volley Insurance goalkeeper Joseph Orya couldn't grip tightly.
