Sporting Lagos winger, Godwin Odibo has reassured fans of Sporting Lagos that the newly promoted team will not be relegated to the Nigeria National League, platinumnewsng.com is reporting.
In a post-match statement filled with determination, Odibo expressed his disappointment following the team’s 2-2 draw against Shooting Stars, a result that leaves them in the precarious 16th position in the league table and dangerously close to the relegation zone.
Despite a hard-fought battle on the field, Sporting Lagos could only secure a point, intensifying the pressure on the team as they grapple with the looming threat of relegation. Odibo, visibly frustrated, questioned the importance of individual accolades such as the Man of the Match award when the team struggles to secure victories.
“What is the use of Man of the Match when you cannot win a match? I do not consider the MOTM performance with this result,” Odibo remarked.
Remaining steadfast in his belief, Odibo defiantly stated, “We will never relegate. Take that from me.”
Sporting Lagos is 16th on the log pending the results of other matches yet to be played. The Lagosians will next face Bendel Insurance in matchday 19 of the NPFL.
