Enyimba Dominates Heartland in Season Opener

In a thrilling start to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) 2024/25 season, Enyimba International showcased their strength with a convincing 3-1 victory over Heartland on Sunday, September 8, 2024.

The match, held at Heartland's home ground, began with a balanced contest, but it was the visitors who eventually took control. Heartland's Lawal Suraju broke the deadlock in the 54th minute, giving his team a brief lead and igniting hopes of an upset. However, Enyimba responded with resilience and tactical prowess.

Enyimba's equalizer came in the 62nd minute courtesy of Ifeanyi Ihemekwele, setting the stage for a dramatic turnaround. Clinton Jephta then took center stage, delivering a stunning performance with two goals in quick succession—first in the 70th minute and then again in the 73rd minute. Jephta's clinical finishing ensured Enyimba secured all three points and made an impressive statement at the start of the season.

This dominant display not only marks a successful beginning for Enyimba but also sets a high standard for their campaign in the NPFL. With three points from their opening match, Enyimba is poised to build on this momentum as the season progresses.
