Rivers United technical adviser, Finidi George has expressed satisfaction with the the team’s away victory over El-Kanemi Warriors.
The Pride of Rivers defeated El-Kanemi Warriors 2-1 in Maiduguri on Sunday.
Finidi admitted that the encounter was tough due to the weather condition
“I’m quite happy with the victory. It was a difficult game, especially in the first half,” Finidi stated during his post-match press conference.
“The first half was very tough. Playing at 3 pm under the hot sun made things difficult for my players. But in the second half, as the temperature dropped slightly, we settled into our rhythm and scored two good goals.
“We could have scored more. At one point, I felt we should have communicated better to keep the 2-0 lead, but conceding that late goal was frustrating for me as a coach.
“We’re looking for goals at this stage, and giving away such a cheap goal was disappointing. But overall, we deserved the win.
“That said, we should have seen out the game at 2-0, so I wasn’t happy conceding that late goal. But overall, I’m delighted to travel this far, win, and take all three points. It’s a fantastic result for the team.”
