Akwa United caretaker coach, Umar Abdullahi has congratulated his players for their fighting spirit in the 3-1 victory over Enyimba.
Abdullahi also thanked the fans for their wonderful support to the team.
The Promise Keepers marked their return to the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, with a remarkable performance against the reigning Nigeria Premier Football League champions.
The Uyo club raced into a two-goal lead through David Philip and Sani Suleiman.
Imo Obot halved the deficit for Enyimba before Suleiman scored his second of the game in stoppage time.
“I’m really proud of our performance in today’s game. Our recent results have not been encouraging so we needed to get back to winning ways as soon as possible and the boys responded in a wonderful way.
“The atmosphere was perfect and the support was massive in today’s game and I’m very happy that we got all three points which is definitely a big step forward for us.
“We have been playing well but find it difficult to get the desired results. With this victory, we hope to build on it going forward in the remaining matches of the season,” he said.
Akwa United will next travel to Ibadan to face Shooting Stars Sport Club on matchday 24.
