In his post-match remarks, Finidi George commended the dominant performance of his players, emphasizing their control of the game and the creation of numerous opportunities.
Despite not scoring in the first half, the coach expressed satisfaction with the second-half display, noting clear-cut chances that could have resulted in goals.
“It was a good display from the players. We are all happy,” remarked the former Real Betis and Ajax winger, urging his team to maintain their positive momentum.
“We have to continue like this. They (the players) have to just keep believing in themselves, and hopefully, we’ll get the job done. It’s not going to be easy. I’m quite happy for this victory,” added Finidi George.
Enyimba’s upcoming challenge involves an Oriental Derby clash against Heartland in Owerri on Saturday, presenting another opportunity for the team to solidify its standing in the NPFL.
