Barau FC coach Eugene Agagbe hails club’s seven game unbeaten streak in Nigerian league

Head coach Eugene Agagbe has expressed pride and satisfaction after Barau FC extended their impressive unbeaten streak to seven matches following a hard-fought goalless draw against Warri Wolves in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 27 fixture.

In what proved to be a fiercely contested encounter, both sides displayed tactical discipline and defensive solidity, but neither could carve out the decisive moment needed to claim all three points. Despite the absence of goals, the match was far from lacking intensity, as challenges flew in and opportunities were narrowly missed at both ends.

For Barau FC, the result continues a steady climb built on consistency and resilience in one of Africa’s most competitive domestic leagues. The stalemate ensures the team remains unbeaten in their last seven outings — a run that has injected confidence into the squad as the season approaches its decisive phase.

Speaking after the game, Agagbe acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining such form in the NPFL, a league widely regarded for its unpredictability and physical demands.

“It’s not easy to go seven matches unbeaten in the NPFL. We thank God for the result. Our focus has now shifted to Rivers United because we are taking it one match at a time,” he said.

His comments reflect both gratitude and determination, emphasizing the team’s grounded approach despite their growing momentum. Rather than getting carried away by the unbeaten streak, Agagbe made it clear that attention has already turned to their next challenge against Rivers United F.C..

The single point gained from the draw keeps Barau FC in 12th place on the NPFL table with 34 points from 26 matches. Crucially, they still have a game in hand — an opportunity that could further improve their standing if capitalized upon.

As the league campaign intensifies, Barau FC’s ability to grind out results, even in tight encounters, may prove vital. While the clash with Warri Wolves did not produce goals, it showcased the team’s growing maturity and defensive organization — qualities that could serve them well in the battles ahead.

For Agagbe and his players, the mission remains clear: steady progress, one match at a time, in pursuit of a strong finish to the season.
