Abia Comets Coach Praises Team’s Fighting Spirit After Hard-Earned 3–1 Win Over Edel FC

Abia Comets head coach, Dipreye Tiebowei, has described his team’s 3–1 victory over Edel FC as a hard-fought and well-deserved result.

The Comets battled through a difficult contest at the Umuahia Township Stadium on Saturday, eventually securing all three points in front of their home supporters.

Speaking after the match, Tiebowei applauded his players’ resilience and hunger, especially in a second half where the hosts stepped up their intensity and took control.

“We are all happy for getting the maximum points against Edel FC. It was really a difficult game but the boys showed a lot of character most especially in the second half,” the coach told Sportslighthub.
“It was a good performance from my players. I am proud of how we played to get the needed result.”

Opinion: Character Wins Games — And Abia Comets Are Showing Plenty

Matches like this are often the true test of a team’s identity. It’s one thing to win comfortably; it’s another to fight, adjust, and overcome pressure when the game gets complicated. That is exactly what Abia Comets did.

The second-half surge wasn’t just a tactical improvement — it was a statement of intent. A message that this team is determined to chase success even when they’re pushed to the limit.

Victories built on spirit and discipline have a way of strengthening dressing rooms and boosting confidence for the battles ahead. If Abia Comets can continue with this level of fight, they might just evolve from being strong home performers into genuine contenders in the league.

There’s more work to be done, but Saturday’s performance showed one thing clearly:
⭐ This is a team with courage… and courage wins you points.
