A share of the spoils it was in our Nigeria Premier Football League matchday six meeting with Enyimba FC at the Arena as the game ended 1-1.
Enyimba came to the Arena as league leaders and unbeaten in five league games ahead of this encounter.
LINE UP: Michael Atata; Junior Christian, Alfred Odinaka, Gift Udoh, Ayomide Abatan; Kelechi Onwe, Rasheed Owolabi, Tosin Oyedokun; Musa Maliq, Joseph Arumala & Uchechukwu Onyemaechi.
With the game underway, we started with dominance, pegging Enyimba in their half but the story went the other way round in no time. A first sojourn forward for the league leaders and they had a shot deflect off Gift Udoh and past Michael in goal in the 12th minute.
Their lead was however short-lived as we drew level five minutes later. Kelechi Onwe played an exquisite pass in behind the defense to find Joseph Arumala who struck first time past the goalkeeper. It was back to back home goals for Joseph in the NPFL.
The first half wore in with little chances afterwards as the game went into the break level at 1-1.
With changes already coming in, we pressed on for the winning goal. Maliq and Joseph came close multiple times before Taiwo cut in and fired a shot that went not far over the bar.
