Enyimba has drawn just one of their four games away from the Enyimba international stadium this season and that was in the 1-1 draw with Nigeria Tornadoes at the start of the month.

 

Wednesday evening’s loss has dragged the People’s Elephant deeper into relegation zone as they have garnered just seven points to place 17th on the log, the same points as Akwa United and Bayelsa United who have however played two games more.

 

Meanwhile, Heartland of Owerri are still looking for their first home win this season after giving up a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Bayelsa United at the Dan Anyiam stadium in Owerri.

Promise Anyanwu (11th) and Chinedu Brandon Ike (75th) gave the host what looks like an unassailable lead only for the men from Yenagoa to score two goals in the final seven minutes of regulation time courtesy Eyong Nneyi Ofem (83rd) and Robert Christian Mizo (84th) to win their first point away from home.
