Heartland head coach Emmanuel Amuneke has reflected on his side's stunning away win over Rangers.
The Naze Millionaires defeated the title holders 2-0 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, on Sunday.
Suraju Lawal and Isaac Nassy scored both goals for the Owerri club.
It marked Heartland's second away win of the 2024/25 season.
The victory has significantly boosted the Owerri club’s chances of maintaining their top-flight status.
“I think the important thing is that we’ve come to believe in what we’re doing,”; Amuneke said.
“We’ve been creating lots of chances, but unfortunately haven’t always been able to convert them. But today, in such a big game against the defending champions, Rangers—a team with great potential and achievements—it was very, very important that we took the two chances that came our way and managed the game well. That’s exactly what we did.”;
Heartland have now moved to 15th position on the table with 41 points.
The former champions will host Kwara United in their next league fixture this weekend.
