Enyimba Still Within Title Reach - Kadiri Ikhana

Enyimba head coach Kadiri Ikhana has said the loss at Heartland did nothing to diminish the side's title chase. The Aba outfit were pegged 1-2 by Heartland in match day 32 encounter in Owerri on Sunday.

Ikhana said though the unexpected defeat has raised the pressure level within the side, one or two wins on the road while the home front is intact will secure the dreamed seventh title.

"I will say confidently that the league title belong to Enyimba despite the shocking 1-2 defeat at Heartland.


"What we need to counter the loss at Heartland is to win our remaining home matches while we strive to pick up at least one or two wins on the road.

"Of course, we never bargained for the type of result we got at Heartland, it's certain to push up the pressure but I know we will overcome at the end of the day," said the former Nasarawa United coach to supersport.com.

Enyimba are still at the 20-team top flight summit on 58 points, three points ahead of closest challengers Warri Wolves.
