Enyimba International Football Club of Aba on Monday in Lagos scored through striker Emeka Obioma to gain the full points against Lobi Stars FC of Makurdi.
The former champions won 1-0 for their first win at the ongoing 2022/2023 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Super 6.
The NPFL Super 6, which is ongoing at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, has six clubs participating in a league format competition.
Enyimba had on Saturday drawn their first match of the Super 6 2-2 with Remo Stars FC, but in this opening fixture of Match Day 2 they got it right.
Obioma made the difference with a well-connected header in the 16th minute.
It helped to make up for his 14th minute miss, when he fluffed a chance to score with a wide effort from close range.
The eight-time Nigerian Premier League champions will have their next match against Bendel Insurance on Wednesday.
Lobi Stars on the other hand will face Rivers United and they desperately need a win against the defending champions who are already with three points from one game
