Enyimba head coach Fatai Osho has praised the character of his players after Sunday’s CAF Confederation Cup win against Paradou AC at the Enyimba Stadium.
Stanley Dimgba netted a hat trick and Victor Mbaoma scored his eighth of the season to render Abdelkahar Kadri’s late goal a mere consolation as Enimba ran out 4-1 winners on Sunday.

“The most important thing for me is that we should keep winning these matches. If we keep winning these matches then all options of winning anything is quite open – the level of the Confederation Cup and at the level of the NPFL.”
Fatai Osho will lead out his charges again when Enyimba host Heartland FC in the Nigeria Professional Football League on Wednesday.
