 Yemi Olanrewaju, the coach of Enyimba International of Aba, is hoping for a good result when they travel to Yenagoa for a date with Bayelsa United.

This is as the coach is relish­ing their win over Ikorodu City in their last match last week.

He is delighted after his side pulled out that late goal to beat Ikorodu City FC in a match day nine NPFL encounter.

Recall that a 92nd-minute header by Adiukwu Moses off Imo Obot’s corner kick ensured that the People’s Elephants se­cured the maximum points against the Oga Boys.

Olanrewaju gave credit to his boys for reacting quickly enough to restore their lead, not­ing that fatigue also contributed to his team’s poor sharpness.

“Ikorodu had nothing to lose. They were good, and I knew they would come all out on us. We are the ones who have some­thing to lose.

“If we had drawn or lost this game, it would have been hell. I won’t be happy, but the most important thing is we got the job done, and I commend the boys.”

Enyimba will next travel to Yenegoa for a date with Bayel­sa United on Sunday, November 3rd, in a match day 10 encounter.

“We are very optimistic of a good result on Yenagoa and I want the boys to take the match to them,” he said.
