2025/2026 NNL Match Day 4 Review: Abia Comets Beat Edel FC 3-1 to Reclaim Top Spot

Posted : 08 December 2025

Abia Comets Football Club of Umuahia returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Edel FC at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba.

The Umuahia-based side moved back to the top of the Southern Conference A standings in the ongoing 2025/2026 Nigeria National League (NNL) season.

Comets, who came into the game following a 1-0 away defeat to Crown FC in Ogbomoso last weekend, made the breakthrough inside three minutes when Maduka Okechukwu headed home a brilliant cross from Victor Udunkwo.

Before halftime, Obi Emmanuel leveled the score for the visitors, keeping the contest competitive.

Comets’ Technical Adviser, Dipreye Teiboewi, introduced Poweidi Morris and Julius Godknows to bring a fresh attacking approach and increase threat in the final third.

The substitutions paid off in the 55th minute when Godknows restored Comets’ lead, slotting home a delightful finish off Okechukwu Chukwu’s brilliant pass. Another second-half substitute, Morris, extended the lead after Edel defenders failed to clear a rebound from Udunkwo’s dipping free kick.

After the full-time whistle, Abia Comets comfortably secured the 3-1 win, moving to seven points from four games at the top of the Southern Conference A.

Up next, Abia Comets will travel to Abeokuta midweek to face Gateway FC in a Match Day 5 Southern Conference A encounter.
