Technical Adviser of Lobi Stars, Mohammed Baba Ganaru, is demanding more from the players despite a 2-1 win over Gombe United.

The ‘Pride of Benue’ had to hold on for much of the second half to secure the match points in their Matchday 24 clash on Wednesday.

Lobi who were the better side for most parts of the match took a deserved lead on the stroke of half time when Ebederi Endurance nodded home a long throw from Ubong Williams.

The hosts doubled their lead on the hour mark with substitute Chinonso Okonkwo scoring from the spot after Abdulkadir Alege had stung Mubarak Said in the box.

The ‘Savannah Scorpions’ reduced the deficit with 14 minutes to end the game after substitute Alameen Alameen was fed with a brilliant pass by Ahmed Jimoh to muscle his way into space before shooting past Mustapha Aliko.

Ganaru who commended the players for their performance told www.npfl.ng that more is still required to end the season on a positive note even as he insisted that Lobi Stars cannot be relegated.

“We gave a good account of ourselves, especially in the first half when we dominated the game well and I think we could have won it earlier but we thank God for the win and I commend the players for how they held on to it.

“I believe we need to do more and make our chances count earlier in subsequent games, though the new players are still blending in with those they met here. It’s time we get our play right and convert this performance to getting results on the road.”
