Monday Odigie, the head coach of Bendel Insurance, blamed his team’s lack of focus for their loss to Heartland.
At the Dan Anyiam Stadium on Wednesday, Heartland defeated the Benin Arsenals 1-0.
The Naze Millionaires had not triumphed since the Nigeria Premier Football League season began in 2023–24.
The game’s lone goal was scored by Austin Osayande.
Odigie promised that the group will keep getting better in order to make up for its mistakes in the following match.
In a post-match interview, he stated, “We paid for it because we lost concentration at that moment.”
“We’re going to keep working hard and making corrections.”
After the loss, Bendel Insurance fell to seventh place in the table.
The 2023 Federation Cup winner’s next league matchup is against Sunshine Stars.
