Heartland FC winger Chukwuma Agor is eagerly anticipating Sunday’s Oriental derby against Abia Warriors in Owerri, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

He aims to recreate the success from this season’s Nigeria Premier Football League match at their rivals' home, where the Naze Millionaires secured a 2-0 victory with goals from Agor and Michael Ogu.

Agor believes Heartland can achieve another positive outcome.

“Absolutely! That’s the goal,” he stated. “I’m here to contribute, and everyone is determined to finish strong.

“Heartland usually performs well in derbies, and I’ve participated in a few myself. We’re heading into this weekend’s match with a lot of confidence, and I believe we can mirror our success from Umuahia. Why not?

 “The derby is significant for the fans, and I feel that passion too, so we’re really motivated. Every player is giving their all, and the staff is fully committed to ensuring we finish as high as possible.”

Reflecting on his personal performance with three goals and one assist in 18 matches, Agor feels proud of what he’s accomplished.

“I think I’ve reached some impressive milestones,” he remarked.

Heartland has enjoyed tremendous support from their fans, both at Dan Anyiam Stadium and on the road, and Agor believes that the bond with the supporters can propel the Naze Millionaires to a memorable finish.

 “It’s been incredible,” he shared.

 “This season, the connection has grown even stronger. The interaction between players and fans is really motivating us.

“Big shoutout to all the guys. Everyone is playing their part, including the staff, for everything we’ve achieved. We’ve put in a lot of effort during this time, and it’s starting to pay off. As we enter the crucial part of the season, we all need to be ready to step up and contribute.”
