(DDM) – Kwara United forward Ezeh Chibuzor has voiced deep frustration following his team’s inability to secure even a single point in their Nigeria Premier Football League matchday 15 clash against Barau FC.
DDM gathered that the Harmony Boys fell 3–2 to the Maliya Boys at the Sani Abacha Stadium on Sunday in a match filled with intensity, momentum shifts and costly defensive lapses.
Chibuzor said the squad fought with complete commitment but were ultimately undone by crucial errors that allowed the hosts to snatch victory.
The forward stressed that the result was particularly painful because Kwara United came close to escaping Kano with a valuable draw.
He explained that the team approached the match with determination and tactical discipline but still failed to convert their performance into a positive result.
Chibuzor told the club’s media that the failure to secure at least one point was disappointing after the effort the players displayed across the ninety minutes.
He acknowledged that Barau FC exploited key moments effectively, leaving Kwara United to reflect on missed chances and late-game lapses.
The forward had opened the scoring in the thrilling encounter, giving Kwara a bright start before the hosts mounted their comeback.
He described his goal as an important personal milestone, noting that he had been waiting for the right moment to make a significant contribution.
Chibuzor added that he was pleased to finally combine scoring with providing assists, marking steady progress in his overall development.
He emphasised that he continues to push himself to improve both offensively and defensively whenever he is selected to play.
The forward said he remains committed to delivering more for the team as they aim to climb the NPFL table and restore confidence among supporters.
Kwara United’s defeat adds pressure to their ongoing campaign, which has been marked by mixed results and strong competition across the league.
The match in Kano showcased their ability to create chances but also highlighted persistent vulnerabilities in defensive organisation.
Analysts argue that the team must improve concentration levels in key moments if they hope to avoid costly defeats in the coming weeks.
Chibuzor’s performance, however, provided a silver lining, offering hope that his growing form could inspire better results.
He will now shift focus to the upcoming fixture against Niger Tornadoes in Ilorin this weekend.
The match presents another opportunity for the forward to add to his goal tally and help Kwara United bounce back from the setback.
Supporters are expected to fill the stadium in anticipation of a response from the team, who now face increasing pressure to deliver.
Despite the disappointment in Kano, Chibuzor affirmed that the squad remains united in their determination to improve and fight for stronger results in the NPFL.
