Bayelsa United superstar Robert Mizo reveals game plan against Sporting Lagos

Bayelsa United superstar Robert Mizo has provided an insight into the team’s approach in the NPFL clash against Sporting Lagos. 

Mizo played a pivotal role as Bayelsa United held Sporting Lagos to a share of the spoils following a 1-1 draw in a week 15 encounter on Thursday.

The talented forward proved to be a handful for the home defense during his time on the pitch.

Mizo broke the deadlock against the run of play in the first half to have the Prosperity Boys a narrow lead at the break at the Onikan Stadium. 

The well-take strike was his 10th of the season as he became the first player to hit double figures this season in the Nigeria Professional Football League.

Mizo’s goal would be cancelled out in the second half after the talented forward was forced off due to an injury. 

An excellent strike from substitute, Aliu, saved Sporting’s blushes as the spoils were shared. 

After the game, Mizo spoke to Pulse Sports Nigeria, stating that he was not surprised by the outcome as the former champions came for a win.

“We came for the win,” Mizo told Pulse Sports. “But we didn’t get the result. We are grateful to God for the one point. So, we go home with something.”

On his 10th goal of the season, the NPFL top scorer added that he’s honoured to reach double figures.

“I feel good, I feel good,” he added. “I feel honoured to score my 10th goal of the season.”
