Doma United’s 1-0 victory over Inter Lagos in the 2026/2027 Euromatch NPFL season has been hailed as a testament to the team’s courage and resilience, according to Technical Adviser Ayeni Alexander. The match, held at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Saturday, saw Sadiq Rilwan score the decisive goal in the 71st minute with a powerful header that beat Inter Lagos goalkeeper Bala Favour. This win marks Doma United’s second consecutive triumph against a Lagos-based side, following their opening-day 2-0 victory over Sporting Lagos at the Pantami Stadium in Gombe.
Rilwan’s goal was his second of the season and came after a well-executed set-piece delivery. His ability to rise above defenders and connect cleanly with the ball highlighted the team’s growing attacking maturity. Despite facing strong opposition from Inter Lagos, Doma United maintained composure throughout the match, showcasing tactical discipline and mental strength under pressure.
Alexander praised his players for their overall performance, emphasizing that the win was not solely due to formations or tactics, but also because of the readiness and character of the starting eleven. In a post-match interview shared on Doma United’s X handle, he said: “The feelings were okay, we are glad that the boys really responded well. It’s not just the tactics and formation we applied but it’s about the readiness of the 11 players on the field of play.”
He further commended their courage, resilience, dexterity, and composure both on and off the ball, calling it a good performance overall. The victory strengthens Doma United’s position in the early stages of the league campaign and boosts morale ahead of upcoming fixtures. With this result, the team continues to build momentum as they aim for consistent results in the NPFL.
Looking ahead, Doma United will return to their home ground, the Pantami Stadium in Gombe, to host Enyimba of Aba on Saturday, 12th September, 2026. The match presents another opportunity for the Gombe-based side to extend their winning streak and solidify their standing in the league table. Fans and supporters remain hopeful that the team can maintain this form as the season progresses.
