Christian Obiozor Stars As Enyimba Go Eight Games Unbeaten

Enyimba recorded their eight league win of the season as they beat out-of-form Kwara United in Ilorin.

It was the Harmony Warriors’ second league loss in three matches, thereby piling more pressure on under-fire Tunde Abdulrahman.

The People’s Elephants made the ideal start that they wanted when Ifeanyi George fired in.

Christian Obiozor swept home to level increase the lead, before Olufemi Oladapo drove in a beautiful strike.

Ojobo Markson then easily netted a spot-kick before Dare Ojo set up a tense finale with a clipped finish.

It was a case of two sides with contrasting fortunes.

Kwara United had not won since their week 12 victory against Enugu Rangers, while Enyimba were hoping to increase their unbeaten run to 8 matches.

It was George who repaid his manager’s faith in him with his second goal in two games to silence the home fans.

And the potent Obiozor further put pressure on Kwara United with his own share of the cake.

The highlight of the match was the bullet that Oladapo delivered past goalkeeper Chijioke Ejiogu in the 45th minute.

With a spring in their steps, the People’s Elephants added a third when Ojobo scored from the penalty spot.

Ojo gave the homers hope when he raced forward before placing his effort past Ejiogu, but Enyimba held on.
