Enyimba have moved closer to winning their record eighth Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) title after they defeated FC Ifeanyi Ubah 3-1 on Monday at the Agege Stadium, Lagos in a Championship playoffs tie.
The People’s Elephant’s goals were scored by Reuben Bala, who fired a brace in the 19th and 43rd minutes, while Abdulrahman Bashir ensured the Anambra Warriors comeback was obliterated with the third goal in the 56th minute. FC Ifeanyiu Ubah had levelled through Promise James in the 31st minute.
Having heard the results of the earlier played two matches, which ended in draws, Usman Abd’Allah’s men went into their fixture knowing that a win over the supposed whipping boys of the group would leapfrog them to the top of the table, ahead of Kano Pillars.
