Enyimba End Winless Run with Hard-Fought Victory Over Lobi Stars

Enyimba FC finally returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Lobi Stars at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi. After enduring a six-match winless streak across all competitions, Stanley Eguma’s men delivered a much-needed performance to secure three crucial points.

The difference-maker on the night was Ifeanyi Ihemekwele, whose 40th-minute goal proved decisive. With five league goals already this season, the striker is becoming a key figure for the People’s Elephant. His composure in front of goal was exactly what Enyimba needed to regain momentum in their campaign.

The victory saw Enyimba climb from 11th to 8th place on the league table—a significant boost as they aim to regain their place among the title contenders.
