Enyimba defeated Lobi Stars 1-0 on Monday afternoon at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos in the first match of Day 2 of the Nigeria Football League Super Six playoffs.
Emeka Obioma scored the only goal of the encounter in the 16th minute via a header from a cross that had goalkeeper Atsaka Daniel stranded.
Into the game, Coach Finidi George made four tactical changes to his squad that were held to a 2-2 draw by Remo last Saturday. In contrast, the Baba Ganaru-led Lobi Stars made just one substitution to their last match-day starting 11 against the Bendel Insurance squad.
