Enyimba FC Ends Winless Streak with Brown Ideye`s Goal

Enyimba FC secured a much-needed victory in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) by defeating Nasarawa United 2-1 on 8 January 2025. This match, held at the Enyimba Stadium, marked a significant turnaround for the team, as it was their first win in nine league matches this season. The last time Enyimba celebrated a victory was on 27 October 2024 against Ikorodu United.

The match saw Joseph Atule put Enyimba ahead in added time of the first half, showcasing his skill and determination. However, Nasarawa United responded strongly after the break, with Anas Yusuf equalizing in the 58th minute, bringing his goal tally for the season to 11. The decisive moment came in the 68th minute when former Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye scored the winning goal, sealing the match for Enyimba.

With this victory, Enyimba climbed to 7th place in the NPFL standings, now boasting 27 points from 17 matches. The team has two games in hand, providing them with an opportunity to further improve their position as they approach the midpoint of the season. Enyimba's next challenge will be a rescheduled match against Kwara United on 16 January 2025, following a home fixture against Egyptian side Al Masry in the CAF Confederation Cup on 12 January 2025.

As the league progresses, Remo Stars and Rivers United currently lead the NPFL table, both tied at 19 points. Shooting Stars, Enugu Rangers, and El Kanemi Warriors follow in the standings, while Enyimba aims to build on their recent success in the upcoming matches.
