Heartland FC Technical Manager, Emmanuel Amuneke said he was not surprised his boys are picking up gradually and were able to beat Remo Stars last weekend.
Peters Afolayan’s 71st minute goal was enough to hand the Naze Millionaires the three points in a high charged and physical game played at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.
Amuneke told the club’s media that he is thrilled the boys are getting used to his tactics and are working very hard every day to improve in all ramifications and get better in subsequent games.

“We are all happy with the win. I know the boys would eventually get thru bearing. We will keep on working hard and not allow the win to get into our heads,” Amuneke said. “It was a tough game but the boys worked harder to secure the three points. Remo Stars are a good day but we got the three points after working so hard in the game.”
Heartland will travel to Umuahia for another Oriental derby against Abia Warriors this weekend.
