Nasarawa United Technical Director, Kabir Dogo has expressed disappointment following his side's painful loss to Enyimba FC in a rescheduled NPFL match day 17 encounter, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

In a thrilling yet agonizing encounter, the Solid Miners fell short on the road, losing 2-1 to Enyimba FC at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, Abia State, on Wednesday evening.

Despite Anas Yusuf cancelling out Joseph Atule's first-half goal, his eleventh in the current campaign for the Solid Miners, Nasarawa United could not capitalize on their second-half momentum, ultimately succumbing to a 63rd-minute winner courtesy of former 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Winner with the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Brown Ideye.

Dogo said: "We are devastated by the loss. We created a series of opportunities to win the game, but unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize on them.

"We are looking forward to rejigging the team during the mid-season break to address our challenges, particularly in the finishing area, as we enter the last and tough stanza of the league campaign."

The loss leaves the Solid Miners in 20th position with nineteen points from nineteen games, while Enyimba moves up to 7th position with twenty-seven points from seventeen games.

With the league currently on a mid-season break, Nasarawa United will be looking forward to fortifying their squad before their next home game against visiting Katsina United FC on 19th January 2025, when the second stanza commences.
