Abia
Warriors Football Club of Umuahia have broken the home invincibility of FC
Ifeanyi Ubah in this year's Nigeria Professional Football League after holding
the Anambra Warriors to a goalless draw at Nnewi in one of the week 14 games
that took place across the nation this weekend.
Before the
match, Ifeanyi Uba have won all their home matches but met a brick-wall in
their oriental brothers who have the best away record in the league so far this
season.
With star
striker, Chisom Chikatara still unavailable for selection due to injury and
reliable defenders, Emmanuel Olowo and Ozor Chinedu suspended, Coach Kennedy
Boboye still paraded a team that made Ifeanyi Uba look ordinary in their own
stadium.
Mitko
Dobrev, the Bulgarian coach of the home side, had also paraded his best team
including Brazilians, Alberico Da Silva and Williams DaSilva but they could not
break the Abia Warriors defence marshaled by Super Eagles' hardman, Austin
Obaroakpo who received 'the man-of-the-match' award.
In his
reaction, Abia Warriors Manager, Kennedy Boboye thanked God for the shared
points insisting that their ambition of winning the league or at least picking
a continental ticket at the end of the season, was still intact.
