Euromatch NPFL: Mangut Praises Nasarawa United Players After Victory Over Enyimba

Nasarawa United technical adviser Mbwas Mangut has commended his players for their impressive performance following their 1-0 victory over Enyimba in Sunday’s Nigeria Premier Football League ,NPFL, encounter.

The Solid Miners extended their winning streak to four matches after securing a hard-fought victory over the nine-time Nigerian champions at the Lafia City Stadium.

Jofrank Joshua scored the decisive goal in the 23rd minute to hand the hosts all three points.

Mangut Happy With Win Over Enyimba

Mangut praised his players for their efforts but admitted that his team could have scored more goals.

“Let me give credit to the boys for securing the maximum points. We should have scored more goals, but the three points are more important,” he told the club’s media.

“Thirteen points in five games is not a bad development. We are responding gradually, and suffice to say we are defending well and also attacking well — that’s five clean sheets in succession,” he said.

Kano Pillars Next For Solid Miners

Nasarawa United will now turn their attention to next weekend’s clash against Kano Pillars, with Mangut eager to secure a positive result against a side that defeated the Solid Miners both home and away last season.

The coach insisted that his team would approach the encounter with the same determination as every other fixture while acknowledging the lessons learned from their previous meetings.

“Against Kano Pillars next weekend, we are going for the maximum points like any other game,” he added.

“We lost away and home against them last season, but we have learnt our lessons. We are going to work towards that game.

“My experiences at the CAF A Licence Coaching Course in Abuja are wonderful, and whatever knowledge I acquired there will be poured out to Nasarawa United because the state government, through the executive governor, facilitated my participation in the course. I am so grateful to everyone who made it possible for me.”
