The Technical Adviser of Gombe United Football Club, Aliyu Zubairu, on Sunday rued their failure to end Bendel Insurance’s unbeaten run in the ongoing 2022/2023 Nigeria Professional Football League.
Zubairu insisted that their plan was frustrated by poor officiating by the centre referee, Babayanje Saed, during the Group A Match Day 16 fixture at the Pantami Stadium in Gombe.Zubairu told sports journalists shortly after the match that the attitude of the referee during the game was questionable and should be properly investigated by the league organisers.
“The action of the referee created tension during the game and this affected the morale of my team and this made the visiting team to escape defeat. “They were inviting unnecessary pressure, and I think the organisers should ask him why he did what he did,” he said.
