Nasarawa United head coach, Kabiru Dogo has blamed hard luck for his teams 3-2 loss to Heartland.
The Solid Miners were four minutes away from recording their first away of the season at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri on Sunday.
Heartland, however, snatched victory with two late goals from Suraj Lawal and Christian Molokwu.
"It was a very good game, and anyone who watched it will confirm it was of a high standard," Dogo said after the game.
"Unfortunately, we've not been lucky in any game we've played this season. There's no match we've played badly, but we've just not been lucky.
