Newly promoted Dakkada FC (formerly Akwa Starlets) on Sunday beat defending champions Enyimba 2-1 to climb to second spot on the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) table on a day Plateau United soared higher with a 5-1 demolition of FC Ifeanyiubah.

Substitute Utibe Arit scored twice for Dakkada, either side of Victor Mbaoma’s well taken goal for the People’s Elephant. The defeat – Enyimba’s second in the league this term – meant they slip further behind league leaders Plateau United.

United strengthened their lead at the top of the table with a 5-1 annihilation of FC Ifeanyiubah at the New Jos Stadium on Sunday.

There were five different scorers for Abdu Maikaba’s side; Abba Umar, Nenrot Silas (his 3rd of the season), Ibrahim Mustapha, Bernard Ovoke and Tosin Omoyele netted while Ekene Awazie scored FC Ifeanyiubah’s consolation.
