Enyimba Coach Praises Team Despite Loss to Tornadoes
Enyimba Football Club, under the management of head coach Emmanuel Deutsch, faced a disappointing start to the new NPFL season with a 2-1 defeat against Niger Tornadoes at the Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna on Sunday. The match saw Aliyu Goyi score from the penalty spot, giving Niger Tornadoes a lead just before halftime.
Enyimba responded in the second half with a header from Wonah Williams, equalizing in the 71st minute. However, Michael Olalusi scored the decisive goal for Niger Tornadoes seven minutes before the end of the match.
Despite the loss, Coach Deutsch expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, stating, “Losing the opening match does not mean you have lost the league. I think it was a very good game.
For the game, totally, I’m impressed because the pre-season was very hard.” Enyimba's next league match will be against Doma United.
