Finidi George's Enyimba see off Heartland to extend unbeaten run to 11 matches

NPFL champions Enyimba International have extended their unbeaten run in the country after seeing off Heartland FC in the Naija Super 8. 

Enyimba are now unbeaten in 11 matches across competitions after a hard-fought 1-0 win in the oriental derby on Saturday in the Super 8. 

The People’s Elephant’s win over their oriental rivals means they have now won seven and drawn four of their last 11 matches. 

Nigerian champions Enyimba will make a swift return to the centre of excellence Lagos just weeks after a happy ending in the NPFL Super 6. 

Lagos seems to have become a happy hunting ground for titles for the Elephants who booked their place in the Naija Super 8 final. 

Murphy Ndukwu was the hero of the day after his first half volley proved to be the decisive difference between the teams. 

In a game that lived up to the derby that it was, Enyimba and Heartland rolled back the years but it was the Aba millionaires who had the last laugh. 

With the victory, the People’s Elephant return to Lagos where they recently sealed a historic ninth title in the NPFL after an exciting run in the Super 6. 

Enyimba will hope to add the Naija Super 8 title when they take to the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in two weeks.
