Enyimba roar back with win against Tornadoes

Following the disappointment of dropping points at home against Shooting Stars, Enyimba delivered the perfect response, grinding out a hard-fought 1-0 away win against Niger Tornadoes in Lafia.

The victory, sealed by a well-crafted 62nd-minute goal from Joseph Atule, marked the People’s Elephant’s third away triumph of the NPFL season and a testament to their resilience in regaining their dominance in the league.

Enyimba, nine-time NPFL champions, showed their experience in closing out a tricky fixture against Tornadoes, controlling the tempo and capitalizing on a well-executed counterattack.

Atule’s goal was the product of a seamless one-two exchange between the returning Nnaji Christian and second-half substitute Quadri Odusokanmi, allowing the forward to finish clinically inside the box.

Despite having chances to extend the lead —through Isah Mohammed in the first half and Ekene Awazie and Atule later on — Enyimba held firm to secure all three points.

With momentum back on their side, Enyimba will now turn their focus to their next challenge— a crucial home fixture against El-Kanemi Warriors in Aba.
