NPFL: Why Plateau United lost to Rivers United – Ogunbote

Plateau United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Rivers United in their opening game of the new NPFL season, with goals scored by Abdulrasheed Dabai and Wasiu Falolu. Technical adviser Gbenga Ogunbote has attributed the loss to the playing turf of the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, stating that the field did not allow his team to perform optimally, particularly in the first half.

Ogunbote also expressed dissatisfaction with his team's slow and poor reaction during the match, but remains hopeful for improvement in the next game.
