Eichab wasted no time in dispelling such talk: \u201cI believe we\u2019ve been performing well of late, and our aim is to maintain this momentum. As for our title aspirations, I don\u2019t see us as contenders. Our primary goal is to secure a comfortable position this season, regroup during the offseason, and strategize for the next one. I\u2019m not certain fans perceive us as title contenders, but that\u2019s not our focus. We\u2019re solely focused on avoiding relegation and securing a respectable finish by the end of the season,\u201d he explained. Nampol now have 48 points on the log after Saturday\u2019s tie, while log leaders African Stars have 53 points from 24 matches with only six matches left to end the eason.<\/p>\n<p>With only less than five matches left to be played, Eichab reaffirmed his focus on achieving the team\u2019s primary objective: securing a top-eight finish. \u201cWe are not here to chase titles; we are here to lay the foundation for sustained success. We just want to collect points from our remaining matches, so we finish on a comfortable position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In other matches over the weekend, Gobabis-based Young African secured maximum points with a 1-0 victory over Life Fighters while FC Ongos continued their poor form, suffering a 3-1 defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mighty Gunners continued their impressive run defeating Orlando Pirates 2-1 at home. On Saturday, Young Brazilian played a 1-all draw against Julinho Sporting. Coastal team Blue Waters also had a successful outing on Saturday, clinching a 2-1 victory over Khomasdal\u2019s Civics.<\/p>\n<p>Defending champions and current league leaders African Stars claimed a narrow 1-0 victory against Chula Chula in their Saturday fixture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
