Doma United hold Abia Warriors 2-2, Ayeni sees boost for Barau FC clash
Doma United Technical Adviser Ayodeji Ayeni says his team's 2-2 draw with Abia Warriors provides a crucial confidence boost ahead of their next NPFL fixture against Barau FC. The Savannah Tigers twice led through Tijjani Azeez (5') and Samuel Akpan (69'), but Emeka Obioma's brace (37', 79') earned the visitors a point at Doma's home ground.
Ayeni emphasizes resilience in what he calls a 'dynamic game' and maintains his philosophy that attack is the best form of defense. 'This point is a big relief for us to concentrate on it in our next home game,' he told NPFL media. The result keeps Doma United ninth on the table with 16 points from 12 matches.
The draw extends Doma's unbeaten run and demonstrates their ability to recover from conceding equalizers. Barau FC await in the next league game, where Ayeni's side will look to convert home advantage into three points. With the NPFL table tightly packed, every point matters in the push for a top-half finish.
Can Doma United's attacking approach deliver a win against Barau FC, or will defensive lapses cost them again?
