Enyimba lose 2-3 to Sporting Lagos, stay bottom of NPFL table
Enyimba FC suffered a 2-3 home defeat to Sporting Lagos in the Nigeria Premier Football League on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, leaving them rooted at the bottom of the table. Stanley Dimgba gave Enyimba the lead early, but Sporting Lagos equalised in the 52nd minute. Iyanda Tobi restored the lead with a 54th-minute penalty, only for Sporting Lagos to score twice more to seal the win. The loss prompted a brief statement from the club on Facebook: 'A disappointing loss.' Fans expressed disappointment after the match, echoing concerns about the team's form.
Earlier on Tuesday, Enyimba Chairman and former Super Eagles star Kanu Nwankwo urged supporters to keep faith during the difficult period, insisting the side would bounce back. The result leaves Enyimba with few points and growing pressure to improve as the season progresses.
With the club stuck at the bottom and morale low, will you continue to back Enyimba through attendance and support, or do you think it's time for the management to consider tactical changes or new signings to turn things around?
