Heartland head coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, has attributed his team’s defeat to mistakes.
The Naze Millionaires went down 3-1 to Sunshine Stars in their matchday five clash at the Ondo State Sports Complex in Akure on Wednesday.
Bismak Adebayo, Gabriel Adepoju, and Opeoluwa Olufem scored for Sunshine Stars, while Chukwuma Udoma netted for Heartland.
Amuneke acknowledged the hard work of Sunshine Stars in securing the victory.
“From the beginning, we went ahead, but unfortunately we conceded goals from mistakes that allowed Sunshine Stars to score two second-half goals,” Amuneke was quoted by the news track.
“Of course, you cannot take away the efforts of the Sunshine team. They fought, they wanted it, and in football if you want success, you go for it — and that’s exactly what they did. We have to congratulate them.”
