NPFL Round-Up: Enyimba subdue Pillars as Plateau United win big

There was no away win in this weekend’s matches in the NPFL.

Enyimba emerged winners in the titanic clash against Kano Pillars on Sunday as NPFL matchday five games were played across the country.

A first-half goal from Anayo Iwuala in the 21st minute and another from Gabriel Orok in the 38th minute sealed a 2-1 win for the People’s Elephant who made it three wins in three home games this season

Though Fahad Usman scored a sumptuous free-kick for Pillars in the 86th minute, it was too little too late as the Pyramid Boys were condemned to their first defeat of the season.

A late goal in Markudi also ended the unbeaten run of Dakkada FC as Lobi Stars pipped the Akwa Ibom team 2-1.

Samuel Mathias had given Lobi Stars the lead in the 17th minute but Christian Ekong pulled level for Dakkada in the 71st minute.

The visitors were, however, denied a share of the spoils in Makurdi when a late penalty kick was awarded against them and was expertly dispatched by Austin Onye in stoppage time.

In Port Harcourt, table toppers Rivers United had no such problem as they thrashed Heartland 3-1.

Goals from Aguda Godwin in the first half and the duo of Enyinnaya Kazie and Malachi Ohawuma in the second half ensured victory for Stanley Eguma’s men on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Abia Warriors registered the first point of the season as they settled for a 1-1 draw against FC Ifeanyi Ubah in Nnewi.
