Super 4: Dolphins happy with progress, despite loss Although Port Harcourt side, Dolphins lost their second game in a row in the Super 6 Tournament, this time to the Nigerian Under 23 side, team coach, Stanley Eguma is pleased with the performance of his wards. After 90 minutes, it was U23 1-0 Dolphins, wth the lone goal coming in the 61st minute through Newman Doubra. Despite the loss, Dolphins coach, Eguma said his team had improved from their first game against Kano Pillars. There is a little bit of progress in our game. We have not reached our peak since we only started training exactly a week ago. This is all part of preparations. I also do not agree that because we lost both games and haven’t scored a goal, it means we are not improving. In the last game we virtually ran round the field but today we made our opponents run. We have not scored a goal yet but we will, Eguma said. Under 23 team coach, Fatai Amoo did not look down on the losers. We know Dolphins as a strong side even though they lost their first game. The essence of this tournament is to pick the best players from our pool so we had to rotate in order to use as many players as possible. It was a tough game, tougher than the first one and we are happy we won, Amoo said. Dolphins next game is on Wednesday against Enyimba. .
