The rescheduled Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 18 fixture between Enyimba and Plateau United ended in a hard-fought 0-0 stalemate in Jos.
Despite several opportunities to secure a victory, poor finishing let both teams down.
Enyimba’s result extends an alarming winless run to eight games across all competitions, marking the club’s longest such streak in 20 years. Known as the People’s Elephant, Enyimba is currently grappling with one of its toughest periods in recent memory.
With the draw, Enyimba now sits in 11th place on the league table, having earned 23 points from 15 matches. Yemi Olanrewaju and his side will aim to bounce back when they host Bendel Insurance next Tuesday in their next league outing.
Meanwhile, Plateau United’s resilient performance has earned them a crucial point, though they remain in a precarious position. With 19 points, the team is ranked 17th and will need to gather momentum to climb out of the relegation zone.
The game showcased determination from both sides, but it also highlighted areas for improvement as the NPFL season progresses.
