Rivers
United’s technical manager, Stanley Eguma has expressed satisfaction with his
side’s 1-0 win over Wikki Tourists in the Nigeria Professional Football League
(NPFL) Super 4 on Sunday.
An early
opportunistic strike by Ivoirian marksman, Guy Kuemian was all the Port
Harcourt club needed to inflict on Wikki, their only defeat in the competition.
Eguma spoke
about the importance of the win as well as the psychological effect the
pre-season tournament will have on his side.
“The ability
of my players to defend the 1-0 lead until the end of the game showed character
on their part.
“It was good
for us to win and we hope it will motivate the team ahead of the commencement
of the new season.
“We hope
this will instill a winning mentality in the team and also help the coaches to
assess the team’s strengths and weaknesses,” Eguma said.
United lost
their first game of the competition 0-2 to Enugu Rangers but bounced back to
beat FC Ifeanyiubah 2-0 in their second game.
