Enyimba deny sell out to Dolphins Shortly after the match traveling fans of the Aba elephants held players of Enyimba hostage saying they sold out the match to dolphins. However, Assistant coach of the side, Sylvanus Okpalla waved off those insinuations as what they really are, rumours. “Did you watch the match? Did the match look like there was a sell out? We came to Port Harcourt to win but lost a lot of scoring chances. Dolphins also wanted to win and were fortunate to convert their chances.” “I played for many years in Nigerian before moving to Portugal and I also played for the Eagles too and in all my years I have never known match fixing closely so I would not want to be associated with it.” Goal keeper, Dele also corroborated his coachs’ idea saying there was no such thing as a sell out. “There was no sell out and I will not say we did not take the game seriously. We are the champions and we have our pride at stake but we were just unfortunate to have lost this game.” 3
