Nine-time league champions, Enyimba International FC, reignited their hopes of securing a continental ticket on Wednesday with a resounding 2-0 victory over Kwara United FC in the 2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 36 fixtures.
The match, played at the Enyimba International Stadium, saw former Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye score a brace to rescue his team.
A winner of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with the Super Eagles, Ideye rolled back the years on NPFL Match Day 36, scoring both goals in Aba.
The result, under the guidance of Stanley Eguma, is a crucial one that keeps the former champions firmly in the race for continental football.
The 35-year-old struck in the 12th and 45th minutes at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba, as the Aba Giants climbed to fifth place with 55 points.
With only two matches remaining, the battle for a top-three finish and the lucrative continental spots it brings is intensifying.
