Papilo money: Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu motivates Enyimba with $645 ahead Bayelsa United tie
Nigeria and Super Eagles icon Nwankwo Kanu has reportedly motivated his Enyimba players ahead of their next game against Bayelsa United in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL.
Kanu’s Enyimba, fondly known as the People’s Elephant, welcomed Bayelsa United in Aba with high hopes of securing back-to-back home victories.
Fresh off a morale-boosting draw against Ikorodu City in Lagos the previous weekend, the two-time African champions looked poised to build momentum.
)
The game started brightly for Enyimba, with Ekene Awazie firing them ahead in the seventh minute.
However, the lead was short-lived, Bayelsa United struck back just a minute later, levelling the score and forcing a frustrating draw.
)
Despite remaining unbeaten in their last five outings, Kanu’s men missed a golden opportunity to capitalise on their home advantage, leaving fans at the Aba Stadium disappointed.
Meanwhile, in Port Harcourt, Finidi’s Rivers United faced a stern test against ambitious newcomers Ikorodu City.
)
The Pride of Rivers, under the guidance of the ex-Super Eagles boss, struggled to break down a resolute Ikorodu defence for much of the match.
Just when it seemed the game would end in a stalemate, Stephen Manyo emerged as the hero, scoring a dramatic 96th-minute winner to secure three vital points.
)
The late strike sparked wild celebrations and showed Finidi’s knack for steering his team through tense moments.
What It All Means
The results have shaken up the NPFL standings. Enyimba slipped from seventh to eighth place with 43 points, despite their unbeaten run.
)
Bayelsa United, meanwhile, remain in 15th, still battling to climb away from the danger zone.
Over in Port Harcourt, Finidi George’s Rivers United, in second place, are now just five points behind leaders Remo Stars, who sat out the matchday.
)
Ikorodu City, after their last-gasp defeat, dropped out of the top four to sixth, ending their impressive run among the frontrunners.
With eight matches to the end of the NPFL season, all eyes will be on whether Nwankwo Kanu can rally Enyimba to rediscover their winning touch and if Finidi George’s tactical nous can propel Rivers United to the summit.
)
With the Super Eagles legends leaving their mark on the league, the race for the title promises more twists and turns in the weeks ahead!
