The first period ended 1-1 between the both sides.

But Enyimba came out with full energy in the second period as Jamat Akinwumi netted thrice against the Super Sand Eagles.

Enyimba’s goalkeeper, Ehiabh Festus was at his best in the encounter as he denied the Supersand Eagles on several occasions.
