Setif is already leading ahly benghazi and has moved to 2nd in the group.
Enyimba is currently bottom and needs even if its a 1/2 – 0 win tonight against a pirates team that is so far unbeaten in this competition.
Game on…!
The commentator is so pissed off at Enyimba…..LMAO. Like how on earth can you be needing just 1 goal to qualify, playing vs a team with nothing at stake and still be playing aimlessly like this…?! Lolz
NPFL coaches have outdated coaching methods and philosophies. Their technical and tactical inputs are just whack…
Hahahahahaha…crap coaches with crap players….LMAO. Zero football sense. All of them. Including the so-called $1m super star…..LMAO.
Na for these ones we go deny better players wey dey hot for Europe give 4 slots for Super eagles….LMAO
finallyyyyyyyyyy……..!!!!
From bottom of the group enyimba has suddenly shot to the top in the last seconds of the group stage. Football is a crazy game indeed…!!!
Let me profess love for @Dr.Drey…. I love you my sparring partner… Goooaaaalll! Up Enyimba… Up Nigeria!
Up Nigeria my brother. Headache dey worry me now sef. I don shout taya. I just hope I wont get arrested by my neighbours for public disturbance. My heart is currently beating 2ce as fasr as it should now.
Ah….Wahlahi this is REAL HEART ATTACK FOOTBALL….!!!
Saw the game as well. I think i agree with you guys, our local coaches really need to up their game. Emyimba should have finished this game with a tactical coach on their bench. Abi wetin be the essence of possession without any meaningful result or moments of danger in the opponent’s box. Thank God they stepped it up with long balls into Pirates’ area in the last 6mins and the goal came
At a point , the commentator started doing the coaching o….LMAO. They cannot keep playing kak footy and be winning 1-0, 2-1 at home and then going away to play another round of aimless football and reach final o. Something has to change in this team.
Ey Jesus….my BP is sky high now…! Wetin football nor go do me for this life.
… funny how just only a trickle of us are still awake. Stayed up late after Man city vs PSG to watch Enyimba go to war and boy… was it not worth it? Iwuala “Rolling” Anayo… lol, the enforcer… kudos to the scorer “Chinedu” and thumbsup to the team for a gritty game to the wire… Going forward they should improve on their shooting and purposefulness around the opponent 18 yard and goal area… they need to play with this sort of coordination at away venues also and they will have a better chance of finishing their business! Good night mates… Make I retire!
Uncle, which coordination are you talking about…?? The one that didnt test the Opponents goalkeeper for 95 mins…???
Atleast they were able to string 3 to 4 passes well unlike the previous game against Al Ahly Benghazi… They can do better… apologies for the typo on the scorer… It’s “Olisema” and not “Chinedu”…
Baba, there was no coordination, every move started well from the back but ended just before the opponents vital area which is the main place where you need to create dangers to win games
