The 1-1 draw confirmed Enyimba winner of the league for a record nine times...............................
for a record-extending ninth time after they played out a 1-1 draw against Rivers United in the last game of the Super Six in Lagos.
For George Finidi, this is his first title with the Aba Landlords after a disappointing outing last season.Having kept each other at bay for the first 20 minutes, both teams began to look for possible openings to explore. Five minutes before the stoppage time, Enyimba broke the deadlock after Pascal Eze’s cross was defended in Rivers United’s box and broke to Ekene Awazie, who ferociously slotted the ball past Sochima Victor.
Olorunleke Ojo was called into action on several occasions, but he did very well to deny Rivers United from shooting into the lead.
