Sunshine Stars head coach, Kayode Olujongbe has expressed his satisfaction with his side's hard fought victory against Rivers United.
The Owena Waves beat the stubborn Pride of Rivers 1-0 in Sunday’s Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) matchday 10 clash at the Akure Township Stadium.
Attacking midfielder, Ayo Saka’s brilliant grounder in the 38th minute proved adequate to hand the Akure outfit the whole three points at stake.
Olujongbe said he actually wanted more than one goal in the clash to shore up the side’s standing on the league log.
“I’m happy and pleased with the victory against Rivers United, three points are quite crucial, though I would have loved to win with more than one goal.
“I said we will attack Rivers United from start to finish and we did exactly that in the encounter.
“Right from now on we will go all out to attack in all our matches, aimed at getting more goals.
“The goal difference is what kept us on the spot we occupy on the log, we need to score more goals to up our position.
“I expected to win with two goals in the clash against Rivers United. We will work on it in future matches,” said Olujongbe to supersport.com.
Olujongbe said his side are certain to attack El Kanemi Warriors in their midweek clash to chance a good result in Maiduguri.
“We will go there (Maiduguri) to attack, we saw their match at Abia Warriors and they came all out to attack to merit the away win.
“That’s quite instructive for us that if they could attack the way they did on away game one can imagine what will happen on home soil.
“So we will get ready to confront them aimed at getting goals as well as convincing result,” said Olujongbe.
The win against Rivers United takes Sunshine Stars' total earnings to 12 points from a possible 30 in the 10-week old Nigerian top-flight.
