Rivers United picked a second consecutive league win on Sunday with a narrow 1-0 victory over group A bottom side Niger Tornadoes, to move just outside the top three and a spot in the playoff.
Coach of NPFL side MFM FC Fidelis Ilechukwu has stated that his side is not worried despite having gone on a run of 4 games without victory which has seen their lead at the top of the table cut down to 2points.
Ilechukwu told www.brila.net that his side remain happy where they are at the moment considering their youthfulness and how no one gave them a chance to be top at the top of the table at this point in the season.
We’re not worried at all. I don’t want to put the team under pressure. This team MFM FC in this position top of the log. Nobody gave us chance.
’What my concern is how the team will do well and make the top 3 for the battle for the championship as well as continental spots.”
MFM FC will be playing Lobi stars at home as they attempt to stem the tide of the four winless run they have gone through recently.
Enyimba forward Abdulrahman Bashir has stated that it was painful for the People’s Elephant to have missed out on the chance to go top after been held to a scoreless draw at home to Bendel Insurance coupled with MFM’s loss in Ilorin against Kwara united.
Abdulrahman speaking in a chat with brila.net said the game against Insurance was so frustrating for his side and were so unfortunate not to have beaten the visiting side.
He also added that they are not bothered by what others are playing but simply focussed on winning their own games.
“We tried our own best to win the match, I don’t know it just didn’t happen. We just have to take it like that and focus on winning our own game.”
Enyimba dropped to third following Enugu Rangers 1-0 victory over Katsina united in Enugu on Sunday which helped the Flying Antelope move up to second
