Remo Stars Football Club remains unbeaten in the Nigeria National League (NNL) after it secured a vital 1-1 draw away from home in the Week 4 encounter against Abia Comets.
The Sky Blue Stars have won two and drawn two of their opening four games in the 2015/16 NNL season.
Pascal Eze set the ball rolling for the host in the second half after the first half ended scoreless.
Umar Martaba was at the right place at the right time to score from 23 yards, after a poor clearance for Comets defender saw Martaba lash on to score, a goal Ugbade described as miraculous.
Ugbade said: “Well, it’s was quite an interesting encounter today for the neutrals but I am not too satisfied as both teams had to share the points.
“As a technical man that I am, I would expect more from the lads but this does not take away the fact they gave a good account of themselves because it’s not easy that we’ve seen two miracles in two matches.”
Ugbade admitted he needs to address the team’s conversion of chances.
“Yes it is a very big problem for a technical crew, and at my level, creating the opportunities is one thing and converting them is another.
“We were not too good today because a team I handle for about one month is always about 50 per cent.
“The ability to listen and put to practice simple instructions is still amiss and its something I have to keep working on to ensure the team gets past the 50 per cent mark.”
