Super Eagles Striker Chisom Chikatara Bemoans Penalty Miss

Chisom Chikatara has spoken of his frustration after missing an opportunity to score in Sunday’s Nigeria Professional Football League clash between Abia Warriors and Rivers United.

The Super Eagles striker would have doubled the advantage for the home team in the second half but his spot kick was saved by goalkeeper Rotimi Sunday.

“I was over confident. I thought that I had scored already. That’s why I missed,” Chikatara said of his shocking effort from 12 yards.

Rivers United had conceded a penalty in the final minute of added time, with captain Austin Festus handling the ball in the box.

The 1-0  defeat sees United fall to sixth on the standings with 28 points from 17 matches while Abia Warriors rose two places and now occupy second place with 30 points from 16 matches.
