2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 34: Finidi George rates tough Sunshine Stars' squad high

Posted : 21 April 2025

The Technical Adviser of Rivers United FC, Finidi George, has praised the resilience of the visiting Sunshine Stars of Akure after his side labored to a 1-0 win over the Owena Whales.


The 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 34 encounter, played at the iconic Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, saw the Pride of Rivers secure a lone goal courtesy of Abba Sulaiman for the maximum points.


Abba Sulaiman scored the winning goal late in the 83rd minute.


Finidi, after the match, said that the win would further boost his side’s chances of winning the title.


"Sunshine Stars gave us a real fight. They were disciplined and determined," he said after the game.


"This win means a lot to us at this stage of the season, as it puts pressure on other teams at the top."


Sunshine Stars' coach Akinfolarin, reflecting on the defeat to Rivers United, said the team was unlucky in the match.


Akinfolarin Bobola believes that his players showed enough determination despite the defeat to Rivers United.


Akinfolarin, however, commended his players for their performance in the game.


"It’s not the result we wanted. Having tried from the blast of the whistle, conceding a goal towards the end of the game is painful," Akinfolarin said to the media after the game.


"At least a point would have been okay, considering our position on the league table. We will keep pushing till the end."


Sunshine Stars remain in 19th position following the defeat.
