9 days, 5 games...

5 games in 9 days would take a toll on any footballer, even more so after 6 months of non-stop rushed football already.

All 6 teams competing in the Super 6 playoffs were filled with fatigued players due to the hectic game schedule.

The players couldn't complain though, that was what they were paid for.

For Enyimba FC's third game of the playoffs, Coach Yemi Daniel rested a few players including Farouk, replacing him with Cyril Olisema but he didn't touch 2 players, the untouchable duo of Sam and Austin.

Against Lobi Stars, Sam and Austin played all 90 minutes again.

Just like the game against Remo Stars, they were forced to lay siege to the incredible defensive block set up by their opponents who were unwilling to take the risk of taking the battle to them.

In the end, just like the Remo Stars game, for majority of the game, Enyimba FC dominated possession without breaking through their opponent's block.

The first half ended 0-0.
