The home fans erupted in celebration as Chinedu slotted home, giving Enyimba the early advantage. This goal set the tone for the match, with Enyimba asserting dominance from the outset.

The result sees Enyimba picking up their second win from two games this season, while Lobi Stars coach Eugene Agagbe has now overseen two losses in a row. With three matches remaining in his five-match ultimatum, Agagbe will be under pressure to turn things around for his team.
