Fast-paced forward Charles Eguavon has tipped his side Nasarawa United to claim all three points in the NPFL game away to embattled Dakkada FC.
Eguavon, 21, is confident that Nasarawa United is buoyed by the recent developments and encouragement the team is enjoying from the government and its teeming supporters.
” We’re poised to consolidate on our decent runs in the league. I’m confident we shall beat our opponent and move up the league table,” the stockily built forward who is likened to Real Madrid and former Chelsea star, Eden Hazard enthused.
According to Eguavon, who was a former player of Iganmu FC, the immediate plan of his team, is to finish well on the table and play on the continent.
It will be recalled that The League Management Company (LMC) announced the immediate expulsion of Sunday Etefia, the Assistant Coach of Dakkada Football Club of Uyo.
In a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja, the LMC disclosed that this was after it concluded a preliminary investigation into the case of an assault on an assistant referee.
The organizers of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) also fined Dakkada FC a total sum of N3.5 million.
It further ordered the club to play their next three home matches at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin.
The sanctions were for the club’s breach of Rules B13.52 and C9 following incidents recorded during their Match Day 4 fixture against visiting Remo Stars of Ikenne on Sunday.
The LMC also recommended a review of the performance of the match’s officials, including the Match Commissioner, N. Anyanwu.
