Boboye begins Heartland reign with home-loss to Enyimba
Newly appointed Heartland FC technical adviser, Kennedy Boboye began his reign with a 0-1 home-loss to Enyimba FC. SportsRation reports.
Boboye replaced Christian Obi earlier this week and had few training sessions with the lads ahead of the game against Enyimba FC.
Whereas Boboye was hoping to get maximum pionts to lift Heartland FC above bottom spot, it was the Peoples Elephants who secured maximum points.
Substitute Stephen Chukwude scored with his very first touch of the Oriental derby with nine minutes to go in the match.
Enyimba thus ended their barren run against their Oriental rivals.
The forward became the first Enyimba player to score against Heartland since Peter Onyekachi netted the opener in a 1-1 draw in 2016.
On the standings, Enyimba FC climb to fifth position in the Nigeria Premier Football League following the away win.
Coach Finidi George tutored Enyimba FC have now won their last three league games.
Coach Kennedy Boboye will now worry about how to turn the tide for Heartland FC who remain at the bottom of the table with six points from 10 games.
