Wikki Tourists head coach, Abdullahi Maikaba, has expressed delight after his team secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Enyimba in their NPFL clash on Sunday.
The Bauchi-based side stunned their hosts at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba, with Abubakar Aliyu delivering the decisive goal that sealed all three points for the visitors.
Speaking after the encounter, Maikaba lauded the determination and fighting spirit displayed by his players throughout the contest. He noted that the squad executed the game plan with discipline, especially against a strong Enyimba side playing on home soil.
“I told my boys that getting a point here is possible, and it has happened. I’m happy,” Maikaba told Wikki Tourists media, applauding their resilience and focus from start to finish.
The victory has lifted Wikki Tourists to seventh place on the Nigeria Premier Football League standings, reinforcing their ambitions for a strong campaign this season.
