The coach of Enyimba International Yemi Olarenwaju has revealed the reason the team failed to get maximum points against Bayelsa United, BSNSports.com.nh reports.

Bayelsa United on Wednesday held the People's Elephants to a 1-1 draw in the match day 36 of the league in Aba.

The coach attributed the outcome of the game to the decision of the league to award the maximum points and goals to Rangers.

Fans of Enyimba invaded the pitch in Enugu last weekend when the referee awarded a penalty to Rangers in the dying minutes of the game.

" I had to talk to the players because they felt very bad after they heard that the 3 goals and 3 points had been awarded to the Rangers.

It really affected us, you can see that in the first half, they were slow, they didn't want to train yesterday morning, I had to motivate them and tell them that the season is not over and we have to keep fighting.

This is our worst half since the first half, you can see that we are very sloppy and if we had continued the way we played in the first half we would have lost the game.

Psychologically the boys are down with what happened in Enugu.

The decision is a big setback for us but we just need to fight on.

The only response will need now is to go to Lagos and get the maximum points.

We might be the favorite for the league again but we have to keep fighting, so everybody will be proud of us at the end", he said.
