Akwa United draw Enyimba in pre-season friendly

Enyimba FC played out a goalless draw with Akwa United in a closely contested pre-season friendly today at the training pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

The Aba-based team, under the guidance of coach Yemi Olanrewaju, dominated the early stages of the match, controlling possession and creating several goal-scoring opportunities. However, Akwa United’s defense proved resilient, successfully fending off Enyimba’s advances.

The visitors also had their chances, with Enyimba’s defense working hard to keep them at bay. Despite the efforts on both sides, neither team managed to break the deadlock.

Enyimba FC’s starting lineup featured new signings Moses Adikwu, Ismail Saraki, and Ufere Chinedu, who joined forces with Innocent Gabriel, Uwana Asuquo, and Elijah Akanni. The attack was led by Jeptha Clinton and Joseph Atule, but despite their best efforts, the ball failed to find the back of the net.

Their next match is scheduled for Monday against Rivers United in Port Harcourt, where they will be seeking to improve their scoring form and make a strong statement ahead of the new season.
