Soon after the Eretrean center referee shrilled-off the CAF Champions League encounter between Enyimba and Ajax Cape Town of South Africa, excited supporters and fans of the home side were caught in a fit of celebration; one that stretched beyond the Enyimba Stadium vicinity and milled into the streets of the commercial nerve center of the State.
Frenzy as the 2-0 victory jubilations over the visitors were, one man stood quietly outside the crowd in a sombre mood. That man, who though was glad that his team, Enyimba disarmed the 'Urban Warriors' from South Africa, had a completely different thought running around his brain...he was the team's Administrator, Mr. Anyasi Agwu.
According to our Coresspondent, CHIGOZIE CHUKWOLETTA, who covered the match live in Aba, the People's Elephants' Administrator was happy with the 2-0 scoreline in favour of the Nigerians, but harboured the fear of whether his boys could sustain the tempo of today's game. "The scoreline is okay.
I'm happywith the victory, but I do hope that, the players would continue to sustain this level of tempo in their subsequent matches. "If there is anything that is really making me very happy right now, it is that this victory over Ajax Cape Town, has brought us back into the mainstream of reckoning in the race for the continental title. Let us wait and get the results of the other teams, then we would plan well, on how to forge ahead in the campaign...this victory has really brought us back into contention and I thank God for it'" Anyasi remarked excitedly.
