Emmanuel Amuneke has singled out Kolawale Oladipo for top praise following his heroics during the NPFL matchday 26 clash between Heartland and El-Kanemi Warriors at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri, Exclusivenews.com.ng reports.

The match ended on a scoreless note with Amuneke saying Oladipo's exceptional brilliance, mental alertness and astounding reflexes were reasons Heartland could not find the back of the net in the game.

54-year-old Amuneke insisted goalkeeper  Oladipo's extraordinary performance in the game.
was key in the valuable point the reigning President Federation Cup title holders, El-Kanemi Warriors, snatched a valuable point in the game.

"But we must give credit to their goalkeeper, (Kolawole Oladipo)", Amuneke said.

"He (Oladipo) was just exceptional in the game. At times, in this kind of game, you need your goalkeeper to be at his very best to be able to do the job.

"Today, their goalkeeper was at his best and he was able to save them. "We controlled the game, took the game to them but it's a bit frustrating that sometimes, the objective of achieving the three points wasn't realised".
