Super Eagles Legend Nwankwo Kanu's Enyimba: What happened during recent away trip

The match, played at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, saw Abakaliki FC, who are currently battling relegation from the second-tier NNL, deliver a remarkable performance.

Abakaliki FC’s win marks one of the biggest upsets of the 2025 President Federation Cup, with the NNL side now set to face Nasarawa United in the quarter-finals.
Abakaliki are the “real giant-killers” of the competition after their impressive run, which also included victories over Yobe Stars and Katsina United.
