WARRI WOLVES 0 - 1 RIVERS UNITED: I’m not at my best yet, says match winner Ovoke


MATCH winner Bernard Ovoke says he is yet to reach top form despite scoring three goals in two matches by netting the only goal for his team, Rivers United to grab the three points in their away game to Warri Wolves in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) on Sunday. 
 

Ovoke, who got a brace against Rangers International in the previous match day, cashed in on the defensive mix-up by Warri Wolves to tap in from a Godbless Asamoah's long cross in the 52nd minute leaving Dele Ajiboye in goal for the home side with no chance.

“I was pleased to have received a standing ovation from the Warri Wolves fans.

“Right now, I am doing well, but I am still not yet back to my best. I was playing a lot better when I was at Bayelsa United (former club) but slowly, I am getting back there,” Ovoke said after helping United record their second win on the road this season.

Rivers United’s technical manager, Stanley Eguma while commending the players for the performance, believes they were made to work hard for the win.

"It was a very difficult game but I must commend my players for giving it their all because Warri Wolves showed their stuff but I think we had a better game plan," he said after the encounter.

"From the start of the season we had our eyes focused on the league shield and even though it has not been a great run for us, we are happy we are now getting into the groove but we are not carried away with the victories so far."
