Posted by Paul Offor, manager of Sporting Lagos, spoke after his team beat Gombe United.
On Monday night at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos, Offor’s squad made their Nigeria Premier Football League debut with a 2-0 victory over the Savannah Scorpions.
In the 42nd minute, Rivio Ayemwenre scored the game’s first goal by heading in Jonathan Alukwu’s cross.
Make room for Odafe. Clement scored the insurance goal with 19 seconds remaining.

After the game, he informed the press, “Yes, we totally dominated the game.”
“We want to improve on our confidence going into this season,” the manager said, “so I’m very happy with the three points and the team performance.”
