Ezekiel Moses scored the only goal of the match in the 19th minute, giving Inter Lagos victory in their matchday-four fixture and securing the club’s first-ever win in the NPFL.

The result, reported by Opta Nigeria, means Enyimba have now gone nine consecutive home league matches without winning after being behind at half-time.

Their previous home victory from a losing half-time position came in July 2021, when the Aba Elephants recovered to beat Jigawa Golden Stars 2-1.
