The 1-1 draw confirmed Enyimba winner of the league for a record nine times.
Ekene Awazie shot the People’s Elephant in front in the 39th minute, but Nyima Nwagua restored parity for Rivers United three minutes into the second half.
Despite the myriad of chances afterwards, the game ended in a 1-1 stalemate, a result that saw Enyimba emerging champions of the league for the first time since 2019. For George Finidi, this is his first title with the Aba Landlords after a disappointing outing last season.
