2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 5: Enyimba International FC's coach Yema aims to continue winning ways

Posted : 06 October 2024

Third-placed Enyimba International FC is set to face Katsina United in a highly anticipated Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clash on Sunday, Oct. 6, at the Enyimba International Stadium, as the team’s head coach, Yemi Olanrewaju, remains optimistic about securing maximum points.


Coach Yema, as he is fondly called, emphasized the team's mission and the importance of securing all three points.


"We know it's going to be a tough game. Katsina United is a good side with many experienced players," Olanrewaju said. "But we must secure maximum points to consolidate our 3rd position in the standings."


Enyimba FC currently occupies 3rd place with 9 points, and a win would strengthen their ambitions to reach the top of the table, especially with the return of Daniel Daga and Clinton Jephta, which boosts the team's squad depth.


The People's Elephant enters this match after a morale-boosting 1-0 victory against Akwa United, with debutant Austin Onyemaechi scoring the winning goal in the 72nd minute.


Onyemaechi's impressive debut lifted team morale, and Coach Olanrewaju expects more from his new signing.


"Austin's goal was a game-changer," Olanrewaju said. "He brought energy and pace to the game."


Enyimba's winning streak now stands at three matches, and they aim to build on this momentum.


"Morale is high, and the players are focused," Olanrewaju added. "We're taking it one game at a time."


With the return of midfielder Daniel Daga and winger Clinton Jephta, Coach Yema gains added squad depth and options.


"Having Daniel and Clinton back is a big plus for us," Olanrewaju said. "They bring experience and quality to the team."
