Sporting Lagos fail at home
In a match that the home side was expected to win, the Noisy Lagosians as they have come to be known no thanks to their passionate fan base did not live up to the pre-game hype.
Sporting dominated the NPFL encounter against United, and created the most chances but were made to regret missing glittering chances due to their wastefulness and Doma’s brilliant defence led by their goalkeeper.
The Noisy Lagosians missed more than six big chances led by former NPFL top scorer Junior Lokosa, Rivio and Akpesiri.
On the other hand, the Scorpions of Gombe displayed great determination and resilience, making things difficult for Sporting and their fans.
Goalkeeper, Kingdom Osayi, was the obvious man of the match following a brilliant display in between the sticks which proved a bulwark for Sporting Lagos.
In summary, the match saw missed opportunities, near goals, injuries and a sense of frustration among the home supporters.

The draw with Doma served as a reminder that in football, surprises are always around the corner. The Noisy Lagosians will be eager to regroup and bounce back while the Scorpions can celebrate a hard-earned point and take pride in their tenacity at the Onikan.
