Player ratings

Adekunle Mojeed runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 47. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Sama'ila Bello sends Enyimba through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Sama'ila Bello obliged against Ikorodu City. 2‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Enyimba.

Player ratings

Both of them Sama'ila Bello's — 8.87

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.87, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Okoh Afamefuna hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Enyimba can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Ufere Chukwu is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Enyimba is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Ufere Chukwu has agreed to leave Enyimba for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

Tempers go at Enyimba

Ezekiel Edidiong was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Enyimba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kelvin Ogunga is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Jesse Akila

Enyimba asked and Hearts of Oak said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Kingsley Maduforo is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Enyimba is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Enyimba to lose Kingsley Maduforo for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Kingsley Maduforo has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Player ratings

Adekunle Mojeed runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Enyimba say no — this time

The offer from Kariobangi Sharks for Ifeanyi Ihemekwele was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Words exchanged at Enyimba

Ezekiel Edidiong and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Bayelsa United take the points off Enyimba

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Enyimba dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

Samuel Osayi-Samuel faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Samuel Osayi-Samuel after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Ufere Chukwu falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
