Eguma pleased with win over Wikki

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.
