position they held for 12 match days as Joshua Obaje gave them a 20th
minute lead.

In Calabar, Captain Mfon Udoh was the hero for Enyimba as he scored the
only goal that gave the Peoples’ Elephant a 1-0 win over Rivers United
who are now gradually drowning in the relegation waters.
Trouble could also be looming for Enugu Rangers coach Imama Amapakabo
