“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy, it was a good game we fought very well and at the end it ended 1-1. We thank God for the draw but not that it’s what we wanted, we wanted the three points but there’s nothing we can do, we just have to keep working and keep fighting until we get what we want.”
Overall, the match was a display of strong competition between two skilled teams. While Enyimba may be envious of Bendel Insurance’s unbeaten run, they remain focused on their own goals and continue to work towards achieving them.
