Finidi George of Enyimba FC said that the draw with Sunshine Stars in Akure will boost the chances of his team to reclaim the NPFL title.
The Enyimba gaffer hailed both teams for a dogged performance, saying that the draw was a good result for everyone.
Chidiebere Nnachi cancelled Promise Awosami's opener for Sunshine Stars to salvage a crucial away point for the People's Elephant of Aba in a matchday 31 NPFL encounter.
George said he would consolidate on the points gained on the road with victory in their next home game in Aba.
"It was a difficult one. Let's say it was 50/50. A draw is good enough for both teams, they wanted to win and we too wanted to get something out of this game. We didn't see a lot of chances but a draw is well needed for both teams.
"There are some calls that were too cheap. This is men's football. I didn't like some calls but at the end of the day, this is what it all entails. Sometimes you get a little bit emotional and you want your team to win but on the whole I am quite happy on the one point we had here. We will build on it.
"After having this one point, we will build on it and see how we can win at home. We will push till the end of the season. This is Enyimba and we don't give up till the end of the season. This one point will go a long way."
