Enyimba continue fine form

African Champions, Enyimba FC on Wednesday at their Enyimba International Stadium home ground thrashed Gateway 2-0 to further extend their lead at the top to six points after nine weeks of action.

In Wednesday’s rescheduled encounter, Enyimba went straight into the attack registering the first goal as early as the tenth minute through Kola Ademola who’s over head kick from out side the eighteen yard box beat keeper Henry Ayodele who had left his line.

Nine minutes later, Muri Ogunbuyi jabbed home a rebound after Ayodele failed to stop a shot that rattled him.

After that, Gateway’s Coach, David Egbiri brought in Solomon Oduma for Uche Olisakwe to further strengthen his midfield and with sixteen year old prodigy Lukman Kareem waking up and giving the Enyimba defence troubled moments, it looked obvious that the fans would not get the goal fest they were all dreaming of.

But Enyimba still had the better of the chances as David Tyekase’s pile driver in the 28th minute beat Ayodele but was saved by the upright.

The young upstarts replied the complement a few minutes later as Chigbo Offor’s rising shot almost beat Aiyenugba who’s lackadaisical approach to the shot ensured he had to parry twice before it went for a corner which was wasted anyway.

With the first half ended at 2-0 nil, Enyimba’s Coach, Emordi brought in Prince Olomu for Muri Ogunbuyi, Uche Sherrif for injured Raji Nojeem and Atanda Shakibu for Joetex Frimpong but before that, Keeper Ayodele was called to the rescue of his team again as he saved four shots in a goal mouth melee from Osim, Johnson and Frimpong to keep the score line low.

“We have lost again and I would not blame anyone,” David Egbiri told nigeriasports.com after the match.

“We will just go back home and prepare for Gombe United on Sunday and hope to at least pick three home points in that match.”

I agree with my good friend Dero from PH who said that we fans of Enyi Africa expected more than two goals but all the same, we won.But i must advice our Coaches to do more job on the strikers so as to give Wikki a suprise package in their home ground come saturday.
I wish Coach Emordi will field this two of his players in the match with Wikki so as to achieve the best result, Chimaobi Chukwu and Onovo.
Enyi Aba,Enyi Nigeria,Enyi Africa continue in ur fine runs and never relent.

Anyansi and co.should set the pace by registering Elephants feeder team for the National Amateur League like it is praticed in Europe,search the nooks and crannies of Aba and it's environs for good young players to play for the team,infact make your feeder team strong and reliable.Enyimba set the pace like Gov.Kalu''THE PILLAR''did when he bought Emeka Nwanna''Ayaya''for a million Naira from Enugu Rangers and the ''Peoples Elephants''did when the won the CAF Champions League for the first time for Nigeria.

Plz i wanna use this medium to follow Nnamdy above to appeal to ENYIMBA MANAGEMENT to do something abt their website,www.enyimbainternationalfc.com.Let them update it or close it.Its a shame that a big club like Enyimba is still without a functioning website.
I also appeal to NIGERIASPORTS.COM team to help send this message to them.
thankx
