Stanley Eguma, the Head Coach of Enyimba, has confidently aimed for victory in the 2025 President Federation Cup following his team’s triumph against the reigning champions, El-Kanemi Warriors, in the Round of 32 on Wednesday, according to Completesports. Christian Nnaji netted the winning goal in the 27th minute during the match held at Bwari Stadium in Abuja, according to reports. Nnaji scored his first goal in a significant amount of time for the People’s Elephant as the Stanley Eguma-led team strives for their fifth victory in the President Federation Cup. The win on Wednesday paves the way for an Oriental Derby matchup between the two-time African Champions and Abakaliki FC in the Round of 16. Eguma stated, “We will continue to fight hard following this challenging victory over El-kanemi Warriors until we reach the final and hopefully secure the trophy.” Additionally, it’s worth noting that Enyimba and Rangers advanced in the President Federation Cup, while Rivers United was eliminated. The ex-manager of Rivers United expressed great admiration for his forward, Christian Nnaji, highlighting his dedication and strong work ethic. “I feel personally pleased for Nnaji because he has put in a lot of effort, even though luck hasn’t been on his side when it comes to scoring.” Accomplishing this objective will enhance his self-assurance, and I think it will motivate him to put in more effort and seize more opportunities in the forthcoming matches. In reflecting on the tough match, Eguma recognized the fierce nature of the game and commended El-kanemi Warriors for their display as genuine defending champions. However, he emphasized his team’s commitment to focusing on each game individually as they aim for the finals. Nnaji, who scored the match’s sole goal, was clearly thrilled, sharing his joy at finally finding the back of the net and acknowledging that his dedication and effort have finally borne fruit. “I’m really happy to have scored this long-awaited goal.” “I’m thrilled,” he remarked. “I hope the fans continue to have faith in us, and we will strive to bring them joy, as the supporters are the foundation of every success for the team, regardless of the circumstances.”
