Head coach of Enyimba, Finidi George has blasted Akwa United for deploying negative antics in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) encounter at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.
The Promise Keepers kept their survival hopes on the horizon with an impressive 3-1 win over the Aba Elephants.
Although the former international admitted the home side deserved to win the contest but advised the Promise Keepers to stop deploying time wasting antics.
“Akwa United deserved to win, we must give them that credit,” Finidi told the media.
“But what I didn’t like is the fact that when you are winning the balls disappear; Akwa United is bigger than that.
“That isn’t the best for a team like Akwa United even if you are winning by a lone goal, let the ball boys do their job not otherwise.
