NPFL: Ukaegbu Hails Enyimba’s Home Win Against Plateau United

Enyimba assistant coach Lawrence Ukaegbu has expressed satisfaction with the team’s recent improvement after their 2-0 home victory over Plateau United in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL.

The nine-time champions secured their second consecutive league victory of the season, defeating 10-man Plateau United at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, on Sunday.

The result extended Enyimba’s unbeaten run to three league matches and helped the Aba-based club move out of the relegation zone.

Ifeanyi Ihemekwele opened the scoring for Enyimba one minute before the half-hour mark, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead going into the break.

Richard Ezinwa then doubled Enyimba’s advantage in the 66th minute, securing all three points for the home side.

Ukaegbu said the result showed that Enyimba are returning to their best form and praised the players for their commitment and teamwork. “We have returned to our best form, and I can assure you of this. Our success has been built on consistency and the players’ commitment to working as one unit,” he stated.
