Enyimba finally got their Nigeria Premier Football League campaign up and running with a convincing 4-2 victory over Shooting Stars on Wednesday, while Sporting Lagos and Ikorodu City settled for a goalless draw in the rescheduled Lagos derby, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The People’s Elephant produced a dominant attacking display at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba to claim their first three points of the season.

Richard Ezinna opened the scoring for the hosts in the seventh minute before Damian Chibueze doubled the advantage in the 29th minute.

Enyimba continued to cause problems for the Shooting Stars defence, with the visitors struggling to cope with the intensity of the home side’s attacks.

Idris Abubakar added a third in the 36th minute as Enyimba went into the break with a commanding 3-0 lead.

The Aba club continued from where they stopped after the restart, with Ifeanyi Ihemekwele finding the net just four minutes into the second half to make it 4-0.

Shooting Stars eventually found a response late in the encounter, as Mustapha Adams Agba’a pulled one back in the 76th minute.

Johnmark Aule then added another goal in the first minute of stoppage time, but the late comeback attempt was not enough to prevent Enyimba from claiming a comfortable victory.

The result gives Enyimba a much-needed boost as they look to build momentum and improve their position in the league.

At the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Sporting Lagos and Ikorodu City could not produce a winner as their rescheduled Lagos derby ended 0-0.

Both sides adopted a cautious approach in the early stages, with the battle for midfield control limiting clear opportunities in front of goal.

Sporting Lagos attempted to create openings through patient possession and attacks from the flanks, but Ikorodu City remained compact and disciplined defensively.

The visitors also looked to threaten on the counter, although Sporting Lagos managed to deal with the danger and keep the game level.

The second half saw both teams increase their efforts in search of the winning goal, while substitutions were introduced to provide additional attacking impetus.

However, neither side could find the breakthrough as the points were eventually shared.

The draw denied both clubs the opportunity to claim local bragging rights, with Sporting Lagos and Ikorodu City having to settle for a point apiece.

While Enyimba celebrated their first victory of the campaign in emphatic fashion, the Lagos derby produced a contrasting outcome as the two rivals cancelled each other out at Onikan.

Ikorodu City will be hoping to make home advantage count when they welcome defending champions Enugu Rangers to the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Sunday, September 27, in an NPFL Matchday clash, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The encounter is scheduled to kick off at 3pm, with both teams looking to strengthen their position early in the season.

Rangers head into the fixture with momentum on their side after going unbeaten in their last four matches, recording three victories and one draw during that period.

The Enugu club returned to Onikan in midweek and secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Ranchers Bees, continuing their positive run ahead of Sunday's encounter.

Rangers also have a recent final-day victory over Ikorodu City to draw confidence from. The champions defeated the Lagos side 2-1 on the final day of last season to seal the title, with Chidiebere Nwobodo scoring both goals.

Ikorodu City, meanwhile, have endured a mixed run in their last four matches, recording one win, two draws and one defeat. The result leaves them 12th on the NPFL table with five points.

The Lagos side can take encouragement from their home record, having remained unbeaten on their own turf this season.

However, they will be looking to respond immediately after suffering a 2-1 defeat away to Bendel Insurance in their previous outing.

Sunday's meeting presents both teams with an opportunity to build momentum, with Ikorodu City seeking to protect their strong home record and Rangers aiming to maintain their unbeaten run.

With the two sides still finding their rhythm in the new campaign, the encounter at Onikan promises another competitive battle between the reigning champions and a determined home side.

Sporting Lagos were forced to settle for a point at home after Barau FC held them to a 1-1 draw in their NPFL Matchday Six encounter on Saturday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Barau FC took the initiative in the 35th minute when Joseph Atule stepped up from the penalty spot and converted to give the visitors a first-half advantage.

Their efforts paid off in the 61st minute when Sodiq Ayoade found the equaliser to restore parity and give Sporting Lagos a route back into the game.

The goal sparked further attacking exchanges as both sides pushed forward in search of a winner.

Barau FC, however, held firm against the late pressure, while Sporting Lagos were unable to find the finishing touch needed to complete the comeback.

Despite the efforts from both teams in the closing stages, neither could produce another goal as the contest ended 1-1.

The result gives Barau FC a valuable point away from home, while Sporting Lagos will have to be satisfied with a share of the spoils on their own turf.

Both teams will now shift their focus to their next fixtures as the NPFL Matchday Six round concludes.

Rivers United technical adviser Finidi George believes the club’s improved squad depth is already showing this season as the Port Harcourt side maintain their unbeaten start to the NPFL campaign, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Rivers United have collected 10 points from their opening four matches and currently sit second on the league table after recording three wins and a draw.

Their latest performance was their most convincing yet, with Finidi’s side dismantling Kun Khalifat FC 5-0 in their Matchday 4 encounter on Thursday.

The former NPFL champions struggled to turn chances into goals in some of their earlier fixtures, and their inability to finish opportunities also proved costly in their early CAF Champions League exit.

Finidi, however, believes the club’s off-season recruitment has significantly improved the squad's quality compared with last season, when Rivers United finished runners-up behind Rangers.

“The players that we signed this season are much better than last season. I have always said the quality in the squad is much better,” Finidi told the club’s media.

The former Super Eagles coach admitted that missed chances contributed to their disappointment on the continental stage but feels the team is now beginning to find its rhythm in front of goal.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t convert the chances we created in the continent, and we were eliminated. I think the players are beginning to get it right. We hope they continue this way because you never know what will happen in the future.

“I believe we will continue this way. I know my players can play good football, but converting chances was our problem. We are scoring now, and we hope to continue the same way.”

Rivers United will now look to maintain their momentum when they travel to the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium to face Katsina United in their Matchday 5 fixture on Monday.

Finidi will be hoping his side can carry the confidence from the 5-0 victory into the away encounter and extend their unbeaten run.

Kun Khalifat FC host Kwara United on 27 September at 15:00 GMT, with both sides looking to make a positive statement in the opening phase of the season.

The fixture gives Kun Khalifat FC home advantage, while Kwara United will aim to take confidence from their stronger recent run. With the campaign still at an early stage, the match provides an important opportunity for both teams to build momentum and establish consistency.
