Fidelis Ilechukwu thrilled with MFM win over Rivers United

MFM head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu believes that they were fortunate to escape with the three points against wasteful Rivers United in a Nigerian Professional Football League (NPGL) tie played on Sunday.

The difference between the teams was the fifth-minute penalty Olukoya Boys attacker Chijioke Akuneto converted after an infringement in the penalty area.

Ilechukwu noted that the result would have been different had Rivers United taken the chances they created in the game played at Agege Stadium in Lagos.
