In a post-match interview, Enyimba’s coach Finidi George said he wished his team could continue to get that sort of result in their subsequent matches.
“I think the tempo of the match dropped in the second half because of the scoreline, but we picked up in the last part of the match. Generally it was a good outing.
“I am happy for the victory because it is never easy playing against Kano Pillars. I think we dominated the game from the begining to the end.
