NPFL:Inability To Convert Chances Worries Eguma  

The Technical Manager of Rivers United FC of Port Harcourt, Stanley Eguma has blamed his players for not converting scoring chances despite their 1-0 win against visiting  Heartland in the match day 26 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
According to him, the game was a good one as they had a lot of scoring chances they failed to  convert otherwise it could have been more than one goal.
Eguma said this last Sunday in his post match interview with sports journalists shortly after the Pride of Rivers as they are fondly called  beat  Heartland of Owerri 1-0 in the NPFL at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
He explained that they played better  in the game and dominated the game from the beginning to the end but were unlucky not to score more goals.
“ It was a good game, we played well today and we had a lot of scoring chances. If we had converted it would have been more than one goal. We dominated the game from the beginning to the end but we  were unlucky not to score more goals.
“ I feel very good for the result but it is unfortunate that we are struggling this season, all the same it is a game of football, sometimes it happen. As champions, we have to raise  our game and come back to the top” Eguma stated.
He used the opportunity to thank the players and management of the club for the support  when he was away, adding that he believed that they would come together and work harmoniously.
Ukeme Williams scored the only goal for United at the 11th minute in the first half of the game.
