Match recap
Enyimba secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over El Kanemi Warriors in Sunday's NPFL encounter. The home side asserted dominance from the outset, controlling possession and creating numerous chances. A goal in the first half gave Enyimba a deserved lead, reflecting their superior play. El Kanemi struggled to find a foothold, often defending deep and relying on counter-attacks that rarely materialised. Enyimba continued their pressure in the second half, adding two more goals to extend their advantage. The win reinforces Enyimba's strong position in the league table, while El Kanemi Warriors will need to regroup after a comprehensive defeat. The gulf in class was evident throughout the ninety minutes.
