Nigerian striker, Brown Ideye, rolled back the hands of time to deliver the goods like his prime self after scoring for Enyimba FC when they beat Nasarawa United 2-1 in a Nigerian Premier Football League game played on Wednesday afternoon.
The hosts had gone ahead through Joseph Atule’s goal in first-half added time as they went to break holding on to a slender lead.
However, Stanley Eguma’s men were stunned when the table anchor refused to go down without a fight as Anas Yusuf restored parity 13 minutes after the resumption.
The veteran striker, who rejoined Enyimba last week restored his side’s lead with a 63rd-minute strike just when the game seemed to be petering out for a damaging 10th league draw.
The hosts held on to make it their sixth league win in 17 games this season.
The afro-haired former Premier League star debuted for Enyimba with a goal last Sunday in the 4-1 triumph over Black Bulls to revive a wayward CAF Confederation Cup group stage campaign.
Enyimba are in seventh place, nine points behind leaders Remo Stars but with two games in hand due to continental football engagements.
The Aba Elephants can always count on their hero Ideye again when they resume the Confederation Cup assignments with Egyptians Al Masry visiting Uyo this weekend.
