Former Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Champions Enyimba beat state rivals Abia Warriors 1-0 to win the Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu Pre-season football tournament in Aba.

Team captain Austin Oladapo scored the game’s only goal on the dot of half time, converting from the penalty spot after former Enyimba defender Markson Ojobo had upended Tosin Omoyele inside the box.

Enyimba thus won the week-long tournament (which saw them playing six matches in seven days) in grand style by winning all their six matches. A total of ten teams participated in the tournament, including Plateau United whom Enyimba defeated 1-0 in the semi-final.
