Inter Lagos' Moses Ezekiel Scores to Beat Enyimba 1-0

Inter Lagos head coach Shakiru Giwa praised 19-year-old forward Moses Ezekiel after his goal secured a 1-0 victory over Enyimba in Aba, marking Inter Lagos' first win of the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season. Ezekiel scored in the 19th minute, ending the team's three-match losing streak.
Giwa expressed that this goal would significantly boost Ezekiel's confidence, especially against a formidable opponent like Enyimba. Giwa acknowledged that few expected his team to win, given their previous losses to 3SC, Doma United, and Sporting Lagos.
He emphasized the importance of this victory for a young team, which is only three years old. Despite challenging weather conditions, Giwa humorously referred to the heavy rainfall as a "shower of blessing." He attributed the team's slow start to late preparations and the inexperience of their squad, primarily composed of NNL and NLO players.
Giwa stressed the need to build on this victory as they prepare to face Kano Pillars next.
