“We Could Have Won Against Enyimba, But Wasted Chances” – Ikhenoba Reflects on Draw
Bendel Insurance caretaker head coach Greg Ikhenoba was pleased with his team’s performance as they closed out 2024 on a high note.
The Benin Arsenals secured a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Enyimba in their final match of the year in Aba on Tuesday.
Despite the positive result, Ikhenoba expressed disappointment at his side’s failure to claim all three points, citing missed opportunities as the main reason for the stalemate.
“We’re happy to end the year on a positive note, but we could have gotten the win against Enyimba,” Ikhenoba said.
“We had several chances to score, but we couldn’t convert them, and that gave Enyimba a chance to recover in the second half.
They too missed some opportunities and were a bit unlucky.”
Ikhenoba emphasized that missed chances are part of football, but stressed the importance of capitalizing on opportunities when they arise.
“That’s football for you. If you don’t take your chances, it becomes difficult to win.”

Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
