2026/2027 NNL Match Day 2: Amuneke Demands Consistency as Heartland Visit Eko United

Posted : 15 November 2026

Heartland technical adviser Emmanuel Amuneke has challenged his players to demonstrate consistency and maintain concentration as they prepare for a potentially tricky away encounter against Eko United in the 2026/2027 Nigeria National League (NNL).

The Naze Millionaires will travel to Lagos to face the NNL newcomers at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, on Monday, hoping to secure their first victory of the campaign.

Heartland began their season with a disappointing 2-2 home draw against Crown FC, surrendering a two-goal advantage after taking control of the encounter.

The Owerri-based side will therefore be eager to make amends against Eko United, who are making their debut in the second-tier league after receiving a bye on the opening matchday.

Despite the difference in experience between both clubs, Amuneke has warned his players against underestimating their hosts, insisting that every opponent deserves respect.

The former Super Eagles winger stressed that Heartland must develop the mentality to compete effectively regardless of where their fixtures are played.

He also urged the players to remain disciplined, execute their tactical responsibilities and approach every encounter with the determination to secure maximum points.

“We have to compete and, to do that, you can’t only depend on your home form. We must prepare ourselves to be ready for all games, including away games,” Amuneke said.

The encounter presents Heartland with an opportunity to recover from their opening-day setback, while Eko United will be aiming to make a positive impression in their first appearance of the season.
