2025/2026 NNL Match Day 7: Aiyenugba Shines as Beyond Limits Hold Heartland to Goalless Draw

Posted : 13 January 2026

Beyond Limits FC relied on the experience and brilliance of goalkeeper Daniel Aiyenugba to secure a hard-earned point after holding Heartland FC to a goalless draw in their Nigeria National League (NNL) Match Day 7 encounter at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.

In a match defined by intensity, tactical discipline, and defensive organization, both teams approached the contest with purpose, exchanging early attacks in a high-energy opening phase. Heartland, buoyed by home support, pressed aggressively, while Beyond Limits responded with swift transitions and compact defending.

The first half offered glimpses of attacking intent but little end product, as both defenses stood firm and cancelled out threats. Despite the tempo, goalmouth action remained limited, and the teams went into halftime locked at 0–0.

The pivotal moment came deep into the second half when Heartland were awarded a penalty in the 84th minute, offering the Naze Millionaires a golden opportunity to break the deadlock. However, Aiyenugba rose to the occasion, reading Joel Okoro’s effort and producing a stunning save that shifted the momentum of the game.

The save, which earned admiration from even the home supporters, proved decisive as Beyond Limits held firm under late pressure. Heartland continued to push for a winner, while the visitors looked to counterattack, but neither side could find a breakthrough before the final whistle.

The draw reflected the contrasting form of the two teams coming into the fixture. Beyond Limits arrived on the back of a commanding 3–0 win over Sunshine Stars, while Heartland had triumphed 3–1 away against Abia Comets in a fiercely contested Oriental derby.

Although the points were shared, the contest highlighted the competitiveness of the NNL this season, with Aiyenugba’s late intervention standing out as the defining moment of an absorbing encounter.
