Enyimba lost to Akwa united, Ayodeji Ayeni

Akwa United head coach Ayodeji Ayeni has credited his team’s victory against Enyimba to his player’s proficiency in deciphering his teachings on the field of play.

Ayeni also indicated that the players he brought on in the second half contributed to the victory.

Uche Collins made a powerful header from James Ajako’s cross on 73rd minute to hand Akwa United all three points in the game.

Ayeni said his team prepared well for this game and was rewarded.

“Akwa United versus Enyimba is always a tough game, and we didn’t expect an easy game. Having dropped points at home, they came here to try and get the point (s), so we prepared tactically, psychologically, and physically,” Ayeni said during his post match interview.

“We were able to play our pattern and the boys could interpret my instructions. The changes we made in the second half gave us victory because we needed to attack more,” he added.

Enyimba hasn’t won a match in their last three games with hopes of a top-three finish now diminishing.
