Impressive finishing from D. Hotto and T. Mabasa secured the home win 2-1 against Enyimba in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to ES Setif.
T. Mabasa came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Enyimba last time out, making the manager J. Zinnbauer feel like a tactical genius.
