Johnson Daniel, the skipper of Ranchers Bees, has declared his team’s resolve to recover following their narrow 1-0 loss to Sporting Lagos in the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super Four playoffs. The Kaduna-based side is scheduled to return to action this Wednesday at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne for a crucial second-day fixture. Despite the opening setback, the captain remains confident that his side can rectify their standing in the promotional tournament.
Daniel acknowledged the difficult nature of the upcoming challenge but stressed that disciplined execution remains the priority for the Bees. In a tactical preview of the match, he emphasized the importance of mental fortitude in securing a victory.
“The focus now is on getting three points,” Daniel told Sportslighthub. “We’ve moved on and we’re prepared to respond. Inter Lagos will be a tough test, but composure, focus and execution will be key for us.”
As the playoff intensity heightens, the day’s other scheduled match will feature Sporting Lagos taking on Doma United. For Ranchers Bees, the encounter represents a vital opportunity to reignite their promotion hopes and erase the memory of their initial defeat.
