The referee, I think, was too lenient with them despite wasting much time. In the first half, we played less than 30 minutes as their players were falling all around the field. It’s negative football,” Dogo said.

In contrast, Coach Akinade Onigbinde of Doma United praised his goalkeeper’s outstanding display and revealed their intent to extend their unbeaten streak.
