Despite dominating the second half, Enyimba failed to convert their chances, leading to a narrow 1-0 loss against the visiting team, Footballrover reports

The rescheduled NPFL matchday five fixture witnessed Remo Stars clinching a crucial victory, with Samad Kadiri netting the sole goal after a precise cross from Sodiq Ismail.

This goal secured three vital points for the Sky Blue Stars, leaving the defending champions, Enyimba, in disappointment.

While addressing the press, Finidi George claimed that the team that won might not necessarily be the best one.

He highlighted the numerous opportunities their team had throughout the game and pointed out that the opposing team didn’t exhibit a strong performance in the second half, mainly resorting to long balls.We Could Have Won Remo Stars, Only If - Finidi George of Enyimba

George emphasised their team’s dominance in creating chances during the second half, indicating that if they had converted some, the discussion about the superior team would be different.

“No, it’s not the best team that won today. You saw all the chances that we had. They didn’t play in the second half apart from some long balls they tried to use, but I think we gave our all. All the chances came from us [Enyimba] in the second half. So, if we have converted some of those chances, we’ll not be talking about whose team is the best,” Finidi George said.

Following this setback, Enyimba has slipped to the 5th position on the NPFL table, trailing three points behind Remo Stars, now seated in second place.
