We will give account of ourselves against Enyimba - Rivers United boss

Rivers United boss Stanley Eguma has charged his players to live up to expectations when they face Enyimba in Aba this Sunday.

The Pride of Rivers won the reverse fixture 1-0 at the Amaisimaka stadium in Port-Harcourt, back in May.

Both sides also met in the CAF Confederation Cup final preliminary round earlier in the season, with Enyimba progressing on penalties after a 1-1 aggregate score over the two legs.

Eguma, in a chat with his club’s media department, stated that there is a lot at stake and his players must give their from the blast of the whistle to the end.

“It’s a big game and you know it’s a rival team, rival opponent.

“Enyimba/Rivers United any day anytime is a cracker and it’s a game that both teams know each other very well and pride is at stake.

“So I think not only the 3 points, pride is at stake and we hope we are going to give a good account of ourselves to ensure we don’t drop points in Aba,’ he said.”

Rivers United defeated Plateau United 3-1 on the matchday 30 while Enyimba were held to a 1-1 draw by visiting Warri Wolves.
