Yemi Olanrewaju of Enyimba FC has declared that the ongoing 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, is a marathon and that every point is important, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Enyimba gaffer stated this after his side defeated Lobi Stars by 2-1 in a rescheduled league game at the Enyimba Stadium in Aba. According to him, securing the maximum points is paramount for him saying that he has shifted focus to the next game against Rivers United. "We are happy to get the three points. That is what is important to us. The league is a marathon and every game is important. Getting the maximum points is what is important for us. We are putting this game behind us and planning for Rivers United. "I feel very excited and it is important that we win today. There was a bit of sloppy from the boys. It is expected having played in the continent. The most important thing is that we got the maximum points and I am happy about that. "We should have wrapped the game up in the first 20 minutes because we were in charge of the game."
