However, Kwara United was awarded a penalty, which Ejeh Isaiah calmly converted to equalize before Ifeanyi Egwim secured a late victory for the home side.

The narrow setback marks the second time this season that Sporting Lagos has failed to secure an away win.

However, Coach Offor, in his post-match interview, expressed his appreciation for the fact that his team is scoring goals on the road.

The Tech Boys have only managed to score twice in their three away games, but Offor believes that his players have gained confidence in scoring away from home.

The young tactician also took a moment to thank the fans for their support during the midweek game in Ilorin.

“I like the fact that we are going away and we are scoring goals and we showed our performance in the game. Our game is all about the fans. We are excited they came out to support us in Ilorin,” the coach said.

After the defeat, Sporting Lagos has slipped to the ninth position in the league table and is now preparing for their upcoming fixture against Kano Pillars at home.
