"When one team are playing with the referees, what do you expect?

"He broke up our attacking moves, whistled against everything,"

"Even when there was the slightest contact, he blew."

"When it was them, he let it go. He denied us a goal, among so many things, but there you go." The source said.

Eding conceded the first goal when Ogene Elijah tapped in his initial penalty was saved, while Sunday Ingbede and Joshua Obaje added the second and third for Plateau.

"For the penalty, there was a handball,"

 "but for their two other goals, I'd contest offside." The source continued
