Enyimba FC secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Nasarawa United in a rescheduled NPFL Matchday 17 encounter at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba. This marks the Aba giants' first league win in six matches, signaling a potential resurgence under new head coach Stanley Eguma.

Goals from Joseph Atule and substitute Brown Ideye sealed the win for Enyimba, who dominated possession and tested Nasarawa's resolve throughout the match. The victory marks a turnaround for the team, who had struggled in recent matches.

Coach Eguma praised his players' efforts, saying, "I'm happy the players are giving me maximum cooperation. I can assure you they are doing well, though some are yet to meet up." He also acknowledged the need for continued improvement, stating, "Since we began, we have been rebuilding, so it's not yet time for celebration."

Eguma expressed optimism about Enyimba's title aspirations, saying, "The league is open. We have more than 19 games to play, so why can't we be optimistic?" He also assured fans that the team is working hard to leave a good legacy.

Enyimba's next match is a continental game against Al Masry of Egypt in the CAF Confederations Cup group D match day 5 encounter at the Godswill Akpabio Int'l Stadium, Uyo on Sunday.
