2025 President Federation Cup: Enyimba whitewash Abia Warriors Feeders 3-0 in state’s President Federation Cup

Posted : 08 February 2025

Enyimba International Football Club of Aba on Friday thrashed Abia Warriors Feeders of Umuahia 3-0 in the ongoing Abia edition of the 2025 President Federation Cup competition.  


In the match played at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba, Clinton Japhta scored in the 35th minute to open the scoring.  


Alade Balogun made it 2-0 from a rebound after Japhta’s header was parried by the goalkeeper.  


After the interval, Enyimba took the game to the Warriors Feeders side and extended their lead in the 69th minute after an own goal.  


This happened when an Abia Warriors Feeders defender inadvertently sent the ball into his own net while attempting to clear a cross from Ebube Nwachukwu.  


In a post-match interview, Abia Warriors Feeders coach, Madubuike Igwe, said that while the match was tough, the result did not reflect the quality of the game.  


“My target before this match was to win because it was a football match, and each team had 11 players on the pitch.  


“Moreover, this is a cup competition, and it does not matter the quality of the team you are facing. So, we planned to take the victory,” he said.  


The coach added that his team did not concede more goals after the interval because he encouraged the players during the break to make the second 45 minutes count in their favor.  


He noted that his defender could not be blamed for scoring an own goal, saying that such incidents are part of football and can happen to any player.
