We applaud the gritty determination shown by El Kanemi Warriors, [executed](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/river-plates-young-striker-eyes-flying-eagles-call-up-after-swift-rise/) under Kabiru Dogo’s guidance. Arriving in Lagos with a clear game plan, they stuck to their [principles](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/transfer-news/brian-okonkwo-joins-west-brom-u21-after-arsenal-exit/) and emerged with a polished point. [Discipline](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/liverpool-add-two-nigerian-players-to-uefa-champions-league-squad/) often outweighs flair, and this stalemate proved it. +
+
We note that Ikorodu City’s early promise was undermined by a lack of intensity in the opening 45 minutes. Kandil’s frustration speaks to the fine margins that decide matches sluggish starts betray both ambition and belief. Yet, this is a lesson they can learn from. +

We urge both teams to view this match as a [blueprint](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/news/national-team-news/). For Warriors, it showcases how structure and resolve can neutralise threats. For Ikorodu, it emphasises the need to hit the ground running. A sharper first half might have yielded a different outcome. +

We trust that, moving forward, the measure of [success](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/nigerias-all-time-top-10-super-eagles-goal-scorers/) will lie in control both tactical and mental and a readiness to assert authority from the first whistle. And so, we return to our opening thought: discipline and intent remain the unsung heroes of results earned, even when the scoreline remains blank. +
