October 07, (THEWILL) – Enyimba recorded a convincing 3-0 victory against Katsina United in an unusual two-day Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) fixture that concluded on Monday morning at the Enyimba Stadium.
The match, which began on Sunday evening, saw the home team dominate proceedings with an impressive attacking display. Goals from Ekene Awazie, Ifeanyi Ihekeleme, and Kalu Nweke put Enyimba in a commanding position before an unexpected interruption occurred in the 75th minute when the stadium floodlights failed.
Match officials decided to suspend play, following unsuccessful attempts to restore the lighting system. The remaining 15 minutes were rescheduled for Monday morning, with both teams returning to complete the fixture at 8:00 AM local time.
Despite the unusual circumstances and sparse attendance for the Monday morning conclusion, Enyimba maintained their stance and defended their three-goal advantage effectively.
The result moves Enyimba into second position on the NPFL table, accumulating 12 points from five matches. They are behind only Rivers United managed by their former coach George Finidi. This performance indicates strong form early in the season, positioning them well for their championship aspirations.
