Daniel Amokachi’s role as the technical adviser for Lobi Stars began with mixed results, as his team shared the victory with the Niger Tornadoes in a thrilling North Central Derby on Sunday.
Lobi Stars, currently 19th on the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) log, took the lead in the encounter but conceded a late equalizer, sending the 5,000-capacity Bako Kontangora Stadium into wild jubilation.
The former Nigeria international, appointed just last week, saw his team put up a resilient performance despite struggling to find consistency this season.
Lobi Stars have managed only one win from five outings.
The match was a replay of last season’s fixture, which the Niger Tornadoes won 3-2.
However, Amokachi’s charges showed improvement, earning a valuable point against their regional rivals.
Niger Tornadoes, known as the Ikon Allah Boys, are still searching for their first home win this season.
Despite the draw, Amokachi’s debut performance offers hope for Lobi Stars’ fans, who will be eager to see their team build momentum under the new technical adviser.
