Rivers United's head coach, Evans Ogenyi, has shed light on the reasons behind his team's significant defeat against Enyimba in the Nigeria Premier Football League.


Despite Andy Okpe's early goal putting the Pride of Rivers ahead, Enyimba's Chijioke Mbaoma and Elijah Akanni orchestrated a comeback, leading to a comprehensive 4-1 victory for the People's Elephant.


Ogenyi attributed the defeat to a combination of factors, highlighting fatigue as a major issue. He pointed out that the team has been grappling with fatigue since their loss in the quarter-finals in Algeria. Following their return, they faced a hectic schedule, playing six matches in just 15 days.


The coach acknowledged that injuries and fatigue have been significant challenges for his team but expressed his refusal to make excuses. Despite the adversities, Ogenyi remains focused on finding solutions and improving his team's performance.


Reflecting on the defensive lapses that contributed to the defeat, Ogenyi lamented the lack of concentration from both the goalkeeper and the defenders. These lapses, he admitted, played a crucial role in allowing Enyimba to capitalize and secure the victory.


As Rivers United seeks to bounce back from this defeat, Ogenyi and his coaching staff are likely to focus on addressing the team's defensive vulnerabilities and managing the players' fatigue effectively.


The defeat against Enyimba serves as a learning opportunity for Rivers United, highlighting areas for improvement as they continue their campaign in the Nigeria Premier Football League. With determination and strategic adjustments, the team aims to overcome these challenges and return to winning ways in the upcoming matches.
