Eguma targets good result in Uyo

Rivers United manager Stanley Eguma has set his sights on a positive performance when his side face Akwa United in the match day two Nigeria Professional Football League on Wednesday.

Eguma whose side defeated El Kanemi Warriors in their league opener 2-1 on Sunday in Port Harcourt said there are no injury worries or suspensions in the United camp.

“I have congratulated the boys for the win (against El Kanemi Warriors on Sunday) even though it was anything but a perfect performance.  It’s hard to play a perfect game at this stage of the season because there is still a lot of work to do integrating the old players with the new to create a compact unit and a perfect blend.

“Now, we must try to get a good result against Akwa United; an excellent team that will have the full backing of their fans on Wednesday. It will be a very difficult game and if my players don’t perform to the best of our abilities, I am very sure we will lose,” Eguma said.

Rivers United captain, Festus Austin is also expectant of maximum points from the ‘Uyo expedition’.

“We want maximum points in Uyo,” he said simply.

A compelling contest awaits and fireworks are guaranteed at the Nest of Champions.
