The Peoples Elephant's renaissance at home continued Sunday at the Enyimba
International Stadium, Aba after the club stopped the Yenagoa side 2-0 through
a top class first half performance.
Bayelsa United who were second on the log prior to the tie could have jumped
to the top with an unlikely win but all permutations about their top spot
dreams evaporated before halftime after goals from Ayo Saka and Sibi Gwar in
the 27th and 31st minutes. Saka provided the assist for Gwar's second goal as
the latter took his tally to five in the league this season.
Enyimba are back in the top half based on the win. They have 19 points from
13 games to be placed sixth while Bayelsa United dropped to fifth with 20
points.
The Aba giants will seek an end to their away misery when they make a short
dash to Uyo as guest of Akwa United this mid week while Bayelsa United are at
home in the Yenagoa derby against neighbours Nembe City at the Samson Siasia
Stadium.
