2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 24: Eguma receives perfect valentine gift from team with victory over Rivers United

Posted : 16 February 2025

Enyimba International FC team coach, Stanley Eguma, has received the perfect Valentine’s gift from his team as they finally found a way to defeat their arch-rivals, Rivers United FC, in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 24 fixtures.


After nearly five years of defensive struggles against Rivers United, the People’s Elephant broke their curse, keeping a clean sheet against the Port Harcourt side for the first time since December 2019.


The long-awaited defensive feat came as the Aba boys secured a vital 1-0 victory at the Elephant Park.


It was a moment of brilliance from Imo Obot that sealed the deal in the first half for the former NPFL champions, who claimed the maximum points.


His perfectly executed left-footed free kick left Rivers United’s goalkeeper helpless, sending the Aba faithful into wild celebrations.


The high-intensity encounter saw both teams battle for control, with Finidi George’s side mounting relentless pressure after conceding.


However, Enyimba’s defense stood resolute, determined to end their streak of nine consecutive NPFL matches without a clean sheet against their fierce rivals.


The win was a much-needed boost for Enyimba, snapping a two-game losing streak and reigniting their NPFL ambitions.


Head coach Stanley Eguma dedicated the win to the passionate Enyimba faithful.


Eguma described it as a ‘sweet victory’ over his former club and a ‘Valentine’s gift’ to the fans of the Aba team.


“I feel very happy; it’s a sweet victory considering the magnitude of the match. For some time, we haven’t been winning our games, so coming back home with this victory, we are giving it to the fans as a Valentine’s gift.”
