[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)<br>El Kanemi Warriors [coach Kabiru](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/awoniyi-unbothered-by-osimhen-boniface-competition-as-afcon-nears/) Dogo expressed satisfaction after his side secured a goalless draw against Ikorodu City in Lagos on 1 September 2025. He highlighted his team’s disciplined performance. "We came to Lagos aiming to pick up points and I’m pleased we got one.

<br>The boys stuck to the plan and followed instructions. We respect Ikorodu City they are a quality side," he stated. Meanwhile, Ikorodu City boss Ali Kandil lamented a sluggish first half, calling it the main reason they failed to claim all three points. His side had been frustrated by El Kanemi’s defensive approach.

<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>We applaud the gritty determination shown by El Kanemi Warriors, executed under Kabiru Dogo’s guidance. Arriving in Lagos with a clear game plan, they stuck to their principles and emerged with a polished point. Discipline often outweighs flair, and this stalemate proved it.
<br>
<br>We note that [Ikorodu](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/player-profiles/) 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 and belief. Yet, this is a lesson they can learn from.
<br>
<br>We urge both teams to view this match as a blueprint. For Warriors, it showcases how [structure](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/local-clubs-and-academies/) 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](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-tactics-and-analysis/).
<br>
<br>We trust that, moving forward, the measure of success will lie in control both tactical and mental and a readiness to [assert authority](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/iwobi-calls-for-fulham-to-improve-recent-form/) from the first whistle. And so, we return to our opening thought: discipline and intent remain the [unsung heroes](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/news/transfer-news/) of results earned, even when the scoreline remains blank.
