NPFL: Eguma Attributes Defeat To Red Card

Sampson Adedeji

Enyimba International's head coach, Stanley Eguma, has pointed to a red card issued to one of his players as the primary reason for their 1-0 loss to Bendel Insurance, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The match, which took place in Benin on Wednesday, saw Enyimba lose after Innocent Gabriel was sent off for a reckless challenge on Kayode Oke of Bendel Insurance.

Eguma acknowledged that both teams played well but noted that being a man down significantly impacted his team's performance.

 "It was a good game, but being a man down made things difficult for us," he said.

Enyimba will look to bounce back when they face Rivers United this weekend.
