Bab 68: A minor setback after a major victory

Since the Nigerian FA cup was a straight knock-out tournament, Coach Yemi Daniel fielded his strongest available starting line-up for the next game.

And since they played their opponents at home, they had an advantage.

FWEEEE!

From the first whistle, it became clear that one of the Enyimba FC players didn't let up yet and was still in the form of his life, the player in question being Samuel Moses as he dominated the first half.

In this game, Sam played at his best again, terrorizing the Plateau United backline as the fans kept on chanting his name.

"Sam!" "Sam!" "Sam!"

In the first half alone, he created 8 clear-cut chances but his teammates were unable to capitalize and score to give Enyimba FC the lead.

He tried going for it alone a few times but considering that a player was assigned to man-mark him, he did not have the chance to enter dangerous positions, forced to settle with creating chances for his teammates instead.
