Former African champions, Enyimba, won their ninth Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title yesterday after they defeated title holders, Rivers United, following their 1-1 draw in the final match of the 2023 Championship Play-Off at the Mobolaji Johnson Stadium in Lagos.
The NPFL heavyweights went into the winner-takes-all contest on eight points each from four matches but at the end of regulation time, Enyimba toppled Rivers United on a superior goal difference.
Speaking after his team’s victory, the Technical Adviser of Enyimba, George Finidi, thanked the management of the club for keeping faith in him despite the less-than-satisfactory performance last season.
