AFCON 2025
One would think that Enyimba, given the club’s pedigree, would be contending for another time at this point in the season.
However, the Aba Elephants are fighting for survival with a few matches left in the Nigeria Premier Football League.
The nine-time champions took a crucial step towards staying in the league as they secured a vital away win at Wikki Tourist in Bauchi on Saturday evening.
Bala Imamu had earlier given the host the lead after 11 minutes while Samuel Ikechukwu equalised four minutes before the hour mark.
Jephtaph Mariga thought he had scored the winner in the 71st minute with a fine finish.
However, Augustine Nwaorisa scored a late gasp equaliser for Enyimba in the seventh minute of added time as the match ended 2-2.
The point secured moves Enyimba to the 13th spot on the log while Wilko Tourist remains 17th momentarily after 33 games apiece.
