Lobi Stars coach Evans Ogenyi believes Sharks were fortunate to come away with three points having defeated his side 1-0 in the premier league on Sunday at the Sharks Stadium.
.
Odinga Odinga shot home Tayo Fabiyi's header off a late Yinka Adedeji corner to deny Lobi Stars a crucial point in their battle against the drop.
.
Ogenyi told supersport.com that Sharks were merely lucky to win, as his side put up a good performance but did not take their chances.
.
"This was a very highly contested game in which the two sides exhibited high soccer artistry, and the luckier side won," he said.
.
"We had a good number of chances for an away side, but unfortunately we wasted all of them.
.
"We have to go back to the drawing board to make amends for our subsequent matches.
.
"Sharks were luckier than us since they were able to score one of the opportunities they created, and the timing of the goal could not have been better for them."
.
Both teams did squander quite a number of opportunities in an entertaining and lively game that saw Lobi Stars take the game to their hosts.
.
Lobi Stars, with captain Moses Orkuma very influential in the middle, came close to scoring twice in one-on-one situations in the first half, with Sharks goalkeeper Danladi Issah bravely saving his side on both occasions.
.
Lobi Stars still held their own in the second half, but it was Sharks that created more chances. However, Lobi Stars goalkeeper Terkaa Melai pulled off a string of breathtaking saves to keep his side in the game.
.
Sharks should have taken the lead on 80 minutes, but Odinga headed agonisingly wide from less than six yards.
.
The veteran wing-back made up for his mistake five minutes later, when he scored from close range after Fabiyi headed a corner kick into his path.
.
Sharks are now 11th in the premier league with 36 points, while Lobi Stars are bottom of the log with 32 points after 26 rounds of matches.
Lobi Stars has done very well so far so they should just forget about this defeat and move on with their football!
