Nasarawa United Frustrate Enyimba in Aba to Secure Valuable NPFL Point

Posted : 08 September 2025

Nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Enyimba International FC, endured another frustrating outing as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Nasarawa United in Aba on Match Day 3 of the 2025/2026 season.

 

The result came as a boost for the visiting Solid Miners, who followed up their 1-0 win over Abia Warriors with another positive display against an Abia-based side. Despite Enyimba’s pedigree and home advantage, it was the visitors who walked away more satisfied with the share of the spoils at the Enyimba International Stadium.

 

The encounter was fiercely contested, with both sides creating clear chances but failing to convert. Defensive discipline and wasteful finishing ultimately ensured the stalemate, a result that underlined Nasarawa’s resilience against the nine-time league winners.

 

With the point gained, Coach Mangut Mbwas’ Nasarawa United now sit 11th on the log with four points from three matches, while Enyimba remain 9th with five points. The Miners will next host second-placed Wikki Tourists of Bauchi in Lafia on Sunday, September 14.

 

Reacting after the game, Coach Mbwas expressed satisfaction with his team’s approach:
“It was a match where both teams gave a good account of themselves. We created some chances but couldn’t take them. Enyimba had more pressure as the home side, and I told my players to stay relaxed and stick to our plan. It worked for us, and this point is massive, especially against such a strong team.”

 

He added that the result is an important step in building consistency early in the season. “Every point counts, and to get one away from home against a team with Enyimba’s history is encouraging. We will go back to Lafia and try to consolidate against Wikki Tourists.”

 

With the season still in its early stages, both teams will look to sharpen their attacking efficiency as the battle for top positions in the NPFL intensifies.
