Enyimba FC Faces Fourth Straight Loss to Sporting Lagos
Enyimba FC, a nine-time champion, faced their fourth straight defeat in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), losing 3-2 to Sporting Lagos on September 24. Stanley Dimgba scored for Enyimba in the 44th minute, giving them a first-half lead.
However, Sporting Lagos equalized in the 51st minute, took the lead with a goal from Haruna Hadi in the 65th minute, and extended their advantage to 3-1 through Daniel Aboh four minutes later. Tobi Iyanda managed to score for Enyimba, but it was insufficient to avert a second consecutive home loss.
This defeat follows Enyimba's Matchday 4 loss to Inter Lagos, who celebrated their first-ever NPFL victory with a 1-0 win in Aba. The club is currently experiencing internal turmoil, with fans demanding the resignation of chairman Kanu Nwankwo.
Sporting Lagos's victory serves as a significant boost for their campaign.
