Caf Champions League campaigners Enyimba came from behind to hold fellow Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side Heartland to a 2-2 draw in a friendly match played on Friday at Okigwe Stadium.
The People’s Elephant got the opening goal in the thrilling friendly in the 26th minute through Bashir Abdulrahaman.
However, two quick goals from Samuel Nnosiri in the 36th minute from the penalty spot and another from Chukwudi Nwaodu four minutes later saw the Naze Millionaires racing to a 2-1 half-time lead.
Despite having four of their key players already away with the Nigeria B team in Lome, Togo for Sunday’s Chan 2020 qualifiers, Enyimba mounted a fierce challenge in the second half.
