Finidi George reign as the head coach of Enyimba football club of Aba has begun on a bright note after the Peoples Elephants edged Diambars Football club of Senegal 1-0 at the STADE LAT-DIOR THIES Senegal, Owosports.com.ng reports.
The lone goal of the game came late on via a penalty after Gabriel Orok was hacked down inside the box as Cyril Olisema stepped up to send the goalkeeper the wrong way.
