Rivers Angels Coach, Blankson Laments Costly Mistakes In Another Derby Defeat
Rivers Angels head coach Tosan Blankson has apologised to supporters after his side’s 2-1 loss to Edo Queens in Port Harcourt on Friday further dented their hopes of finishing the NWFL Premiership Super Six in a respectable position.
Despite a determined performance, Rivers Angels fell to goals from Precious Oscar and Chioma Moses, while Abasiofon Uwah’s equaliser proved insufficient.
The defeat left the hosts fifth on the table with three points heading into their final game against Nasarawa Amazons.
“We had another disappointing game today (Friday) not in terms of performance but in result. The girls gave everything but I know the aspiration of the fans is for us to win,” Blankson said.
The coach admitted costly mistakes played a major role in the defeat.
“We want to say sorry to our fans for not delivering. We have failed our fans again. That is football for you. If you watched the game you would see the impact and the mistakes we made which resulted in those goals.”
Blankson, however, maintained that good performances do not always translate into victories.
“It is not how you play sometimes that gets you the desired results. If you play very well at times you may not get the results you worked for.”
