Coach of Enyimba FC Paul Aigbogu has said he was excited
that his club defeated Vital’O of Burundi in a CAF championship league match
played on Sunday.
Enyimba defeated visiting Vital’O 5-1 in the first leg of
the group stages of the competition at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port
Harcourt.
Aigbogun told sports writers after the match that they
defeated their opponents with more goals because they took their chances.
“We have been playing well all along without scoring enough
goals apart from one game that we did not play well.
“I think we are the better side today and I thank God that
we took our chances,’’ he said.
Aigbogun disclosed that the team had a new build-up as new
players were given the chance to play and they all came together as a family to
win.
He said the team would prepare for the return leg in a
week’s time because they were not underrating Vital’O in spite of the victory.
“I thank God that we won 5-1, I am happy with that, but
every game is important. So, we will really prepare well for the next game.
“You have to give respect to any team you are going to play.
They did their best today and we are going to prepare better,’’ he said.
One of the players, Mfon Udoh, said he was happy to score
two goals for his team.
Udoh said that the victory was a birthday gift for him on
March 14.
“I feel very happy considering the fact that March 14 is my
birthday. I think I have got myself the best birthday gift,’’ the midfielder
said.
