July 11, (THEWILL) – Enyimba International Football Club, the reigning Nigeria Premier League Champions, are facing a potential early exit from the Naija Super 8 tournament.
The team’s disappointing start, with a loss against Remo-Stars and a draw against Sporting Lagos, has significantly diminished their chances of progressing. Despite the setbacks, Coach Finidi George remains optimistic and focused on their upcoming match against Katsina United. “We’re not playing badly, which is a bit of a relief, but when it comes to goal-scoring it’s about momentum, but we’ll get ready for the last game,” he said.
Enyimba has encountered difficulties in front of goal during the Naija Super 8, scoring only once in contrast to their previous tally of eleven goals in seven games. The team’s recent record against Remo-Stars adds to their challenge, as they have failed to secure a victory in their last four encounters.
Although Enyimba’s goal-scoring momentum has been lacking, George remained confident in the team’s ability to bounce back and prepare for their crucial last game. On Tuesday, the People’s Elephant will face Katsina United at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos, where they must secure a win to retain any hope of qualification.
Anything short of a victory would mean bidding farewell to the Naija Super 8 tournament. The team remains determined to give their all in this match, knowing that qualification may depend on the number of goals scored.
