Enugu Rangers coach Gbenga Ogunbote: We paid dearly for our wastefulness

Enugu Rangers coach Gbenga Ogunbote has expressed his disappointment with their unimpressive start in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) play-offs against Enyimba on Tuesday.

Despite creating more chances than the People's Elephant, the Flying Antelopes were undone by their poor finishing in the final third as they were condemned to a lone defeat by Enyimba at the Agege Stadium.

Joseph Osadiaye got the only goal in Tuesday's Oriental Derby and Ogunbote has described the opening-day defeat as a 'sad loss'.

“It was indeed a sad loss. We paid dearly for our wastefulness today (Tuesday)," the Rangers' gaffer said during his post-match interview.
