Heartland earn bragging rights over Enyimba in Oriental Derby

 

The Naze Millionaires boosted their hopes of survival with a late winner over their Aba rivals in a keenly contested derby at the Dan Anyiam main bowl

Heartland kept up their hopes of surviving the drop

with a crucial late win over defending champions Enyimba in the Oriental Derby at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in this Match Day 26 fixture.

Both teams had nullified each other's threats in this keenly contested derby with clear-cut chances few and far between. 

The game looked destined for a goalless draw until stoppage time when the champions' captain Chinedu Udoji brought down Heartland substitute Akpoveta Ojevwe just inside the area, and Bright Ejike, another substitute made no mistake from the spot.
