El-Kanemi Warriors would attempt to forget the nightmare they had in the hands of the People’s Elephant, Enyimba last Wednesday as they face reality this weekend with a game against current league leaders, Plateau United.
Plateau United will be guests of 5th placed El-Kanemi as both teams clash at the Maiduguri Stadium tomorrow.
On Wednesday, Elkanemi tested a bitter pill in the hands of Enyimba with a 4-0 white wash.
While a goal from the penalty spot in the 62nd minute by Peter Eneji was enough to give Plateau United a 1-0 victory over Nasarawa United in Jos. The win keeps them on top of the NPFL table with 48 points from 26 matches.
They are closely followed by MFM FC, that beat Sunshine Stars 2-1 at the Agege Stadium.
El-Kanemi are 5th on the table with 40 points after 26 games.
Speaking ahead of Sunday debacle, El-Kanemi Warriors’ Coach, Ladan Bosso has told whoever cares to listen that his wards will not be complacent as they were in their last match, stressing that the Maiduiguri outfit will put all the arsenals it has to shoot down Plateau United when hostilities begin on Sunday.
“We have put the 4-0 defeat by Enyimba behind us. Many things counted against us, but as you know that is football for you. But we have not lost all hopes as we stand in a good stead to favourably compete for the league diadem this season. We are 5th on the table with matches to go. And I believe that if we put our acts together we will be going headlong with Plateau United in contesting for the title,” he said.
