Enyimba FC continued their strong run of form by defeating Nasarawa 2-1 in a thrilling Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) encounter on Wednesday in Aba. Former Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye and the talented Joseph Atule delivered the decisive goals for the Elephants.
Atule opened the scoring for the home side in the first half, showcasing his skill and sharp attacking instincts. However, the visitors fought back, drawing level early in the second half. The tie was broken in the 61st minute when Ideye’s clinical strike reignited the passion of Enyimba’s supporters, who erupted in celebration at the resurgence of their team’s attacking prowess.
Both teams created numerous chances, particularly in the second half, but their frontlines could not capitalize on the opportunities to extend the scoreline.

The win follows closely after Enyimba FC’s CAF Confederation Cup triumph over Black Bulls of Mozambique in Uyo, underlining their growing momentum.
This success comes amid a fresh chapter for the team, as Stanley Eguma recently took over managerial duties after the departure of Coach Yemi Olarenwaju. Eguma’s impact appears to be paying off early, with the Elephants regaining confidence and goal-scoring efficiency.
The team has shown renewed tactical discipline, with improved coordination between the midfield and attack, allowing them to control games more effectively. Players who previously struggled for form are beginning to rediscover their rhythm, while younger talents are stepping up with impressive performances.
Supporters have also rallied behind the squad, creating an electric atmosphere that has further boosted morale. If this upward trajectory continues, Enyimba could re-establish themselves as serious contenders both domestically and on the continental stage, signaling a strong resurgence under Eguma’s leadership.
