Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Akwa United head coach, Mohammed Babaganaru has labelled his side\u2019s home loss to Sunshine Stars disappointing and unbelievable.<\/p>\n

The Promise Keepers fell to a 2-1 defeat against Sunshine Stars at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday.<\/p>\n

It was Akwa United\u2019s first defeat of the season.<\/p>\n

The former Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL champions are still without a win after four matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe that we lost at home to Sunshine Stars after all the effort we made. I totally understand that in the game of football, there are three results but we didn\u2019t deserve the result we got because it was not the true reflection of what transpired,\u201d Babaganaru told the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created many goal-scoring opportunities but how we didn\u2019t bury those chances is what I don\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
