Despite the draw, Ayeni expressed satisfaction that his side avoided defeat, characterizing the outcome as a relief that allows the team to shift their concentration toward their next home fixture.

“Football is a dynamic game that you can’t expect anything less, but I think we showed resilience having drawn at home and winning away too,” Ayeni stated. “Whatever the result was, we take it, but we are happy we didn’t end up on the losing side.”

Looking Ahead in the NPFL

With this result, Doma United currently sits in ninth position on the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) table, having accumulated 16 points from 12 matches.
