Doma United extended their unbeaten run in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League season with a commanding 2-0 win over Enyimba at the Pantami Stadium in Gombe on Saturday. The victory, secured through goals from Sadiq Rilwan and Fantami Yusuf, solidified Doma United’s position at the top of the league table with nine points from three matches. Enyimba, on the other hand, remain winless after two games, dropping to the bottom of the standings with zero points.
The match began with both teams cautious in their approach, but Doma United gradually gained control as the first half progressed. Despite several attempts from Enyimba to create chances, the hosts’ defense remained resilient. The breakthrough came in the 62nd minute when Sadiq Rilwan found the back of the net, capitalizing on a well-worked team move to give Doma United the lead. The goal energized the home crowd and shifted momentum firmly in favor of the Gombe-based side.
After taking the lead, Doma United maintained their composure and continued to dominate possession. They pressed high and limited Enyimba’s opportunities, ensuring that the visitors struggled to mount any sustained attacks. The second goal arrived in the 76th minute, courtesy of Fantami Yusuf, who sealed the victory with a precise finish. His strike put the game beyond Enyimba’s reach and confirmed Doma United’s superiority on the day.
With this result, Doma United have now won all three of their opening fixtures, showcasing their strength and consistency early in the season. Their defensive solidity and clinical finishing have been key factors in their success so far. Enyimba, meanwhile, are facing mounting pressure after failing to earn a point in their first two games. The loss highlights ongoing challenges for the Aba-based club, who will need to regroup quickly to avoid falling further behind in the standings.
The performance at the Pantami Stadium demonstrated Doma United’s intent to build on last season’s promotion triumph. Their fans have reason to be optimistic, as the team continues to deliver strong results under their current management. As the league progresses, the focus will be on whether they can maintain this form and challenge for top positions.
This victory marks another step forward for Doma United in their quest for sustained success in the NPFL, while Enyimba must address their struggles before their campaign slips further away.
