Amapakabo Blames Complacency and Missed Chances for Abia Warriors’ 3-1 Derby Loss to Rangers
Abia Warriors coach Imama Amapakabo says defensive lapses and poor finishing cost his side in Sunday’s 3-1 NPFL derby defeat to Rangers International in Awka. Godwin Obaje opened scoring for Rangers in the 37th minute, registering his 101st domestic league goal. Chidiebere Nwobodo doubled the lead after the break before Chukwuemeka Obioma converted a penalty for Abia Warriors. Daniel Monday sealed Rangers’ win with a stoppage-time counterattack. Amapakabo said his side created better scoring opportunities but failed to take them. He also argued that Rangers should have been reduced to 10 players early in the match after an Abia Warriors forward was brought down while through on goal. The coach defended his goalkeeper, describing the errors that led to the goals as technical mistakes rather than tactical shortcomings.
