| Chima Akas defending for Enyimba Int'l FC |
Enyimba's coach, Gbenga Ogunbote made three important changes to the squad that lost 1 - 3 to Kano Pillars in Kano. Ghanaian Fatau Dauda replaced Theophilus Afelokhai in goal, Isiaka Oladuntoye came in for Ifeanyi Anaemena in the defensive line and Joseph Osadiaye took Stanley Dimgba's place in the lineup.
The encounter came into limelight when the NPFL 2017 season top scorer, Stephen Odey gave the visitors the lead midway through the first 45 minutes. However, Enyimba Int'l FC pushed harder and their efforts paid off with an equaliser late into the second half of the game. The result at the UJ Esuene Stadium stood at Enyimba Int'l FC 1 - 1 MFM FC after the blast of the final whistle.
