NPFL: Akwa United Assistant Coach Claims Deserved Victory Against Enyimba

Sampson Adedeji Akwa United’s assistant coach, Orok Akrandut, has expressed that his team fully deserved their 2-1 victory over Enyimba International, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The match, held on Sunday in Uyo, saw the Promise Keepers defeat the People’s Elephant, despite some inconsistencies in their performances this season.

 “We are excited about the win. It was a tough match, and both teams needed the victory, but we wanted it more. That determination drove our players to fight hard and play according to the game plan to secure all three points,” Akrandut said in an interview with the club’s media.

The assistant coach commended the team’s performance, highlighting their efforts in all aspects of the game, including creating several scoring opportunities, though they missed some chances.

“We’re happy that the two goals we scored earned us the maximum points, and we will continue working on our finishing. Scoring more than your opponent is key to winning games,” he added.

Akrandut also emphasized the importance of the timing of the win, noting that it would serve as a source of motivation for future victories, both at home and away.

 “Our current position on the log isn’t where we want to be, so we must build on this momentum. Consistency is key if we are to achieve the results we’re aiming for,” he concluded.
