<br>Reflecting on the match, Finidi acknowledged the challenges his side faced. "We are very happy with the victory, but it was a difficult game," he stated. "In the first half, we created one or two chances, but the second half saw the team become a bit nervous, trying to protect the lead instead of extending it. Towards the end, we focused on defending to secure the win."

<br>While the win bolsters Rivers United’s position at the top of the NPFL, the nervousness observed in the second half suggests areas for improvement. Developing a more confident and attacking mindset could prevent similar [scenarios](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/karim-adeyemi-shows-love-for-nigeria-despite-representing-germany/) in the future.

<br>Finidi’s leadership is clearly steering the team in the right direction, but maintaining consistency and capitalizing on scoring opportunities will be key to sustaining their momentum.
