Enyimba are NPFL Champions

Enyimba won their seventh Nigerian league title on Sunday after drawing 0-0 with Warri Wolves in a feisty contest decided in Aba on Sunday.

The Peoples Elephant created the better of the opening exchanges but failed to put away any of the early chances at the Enyimba International Stadium.

Daniel Etor was sent off for an off-the-ball foul on Gbolahan Salami in the second half but Enyimba failed to get fazed by the numerical disadvantage to claim the point they needed to send their fans into delirium.
