The People’s Elephants were kept at bay by Lobi Stars, who dominated the first quarter of the game, but Enyimba made the breakthrough...
in Lagos in the first match of Day 2 of the Nigeria Football League Super Six playoffs.
Into the game, Coach Finidi George made four tactical changes to his squad that were held to a 2-2 draw by Remo last Saturday. In contrast, the Baba Ganaru-led Lobi Stars made just one substitution to their last match-day starting 11 against the Bendel Insurance squad. Despite conceding a soft goal, Lobi Stars kept up their pursuit of salvaging the game, as a 28th-minute chance that fell to Joseph Atule was not taken. Atule had waltzed past two Enyimba defenders-Pascal Eze and Chigozie Chilekwu, but Olorunleke Ojo saved the goal-bound effort.
