Abia Warriors technical adviser Imama Amapakabo has pointed to his team's failure to convert chances as the reason they could not hold on to all three points following a 2-2 draw at home against Doma United in the Nigeria Premier Football League's Matchday 12.

The Umuahia-based club twice rallied from a deficit at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba, only to be denied a winning result by a lack of clinical finishing in front of goal.

A pulsating afternoon in Aba

Doma United struck first, with Tijani Azeez capitalising on a defensive lapse to put the visitors ahead in the 5th minute, dampening the mood inside the stadium.

Abia Warriors levelled before the break through Emeka Obioma, who timed his run to meet a cross and head home eight minutes before half-time.

The visitors restored their advantage in the 69th minute when substitute Samuel Akpan punished hesitant defending and fired past the goalkeeper.

Obioma, however, refused to let his side go home empty-handed, bundling in his second of the afternoon 11 minutes from time to earn Abia Warriors a point.

Imama frustrated by missed opportunities

Speaking after the match, Amapakabo was candid about his team's shortcomings, insisting the second half in particular warranted a winning return.
