Emmanuel Amuneke’s tenure as Heartland coach got off to a rocky start, as his team fell 3-1 to Enyimba in their NPFL clash on Sunday.
Expectations were high for the former Super Eagles star, but Enyimba’s clinical play left Heartland searching for answers.
Despite flashes of promise under Amuneke’s new system, Heartland struggled to contain Enyimba’s relentless attack.
The away side secured their third goal in the 82nd minute, effectively crushing any hopes of a late comeback for Heartland.
While Amuneke’s debut didn’t go as planned, he will be eager to rally his players and iron out the defensive frailties exposed by a dominant Enyimba.
The challenge now is to ensure this early setback becomes a stepping stone for Heartland’s progress under the new coach.
