E-World FC made a bold statement in their push for Nigeria National League (NNL) promotion with a commanding 3-1 win over Campos FC at the Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt on Saturday evening.

The thrilling match showed exactly why E-World are serious about moving up the ranks this season, Footballrover reports.

E-World FC Strike Early to Sink Campos FC

The NLO Division One, which had been suspended earlier, finally kicked off with exciting action at the Port Harcourt centre.

In the Southern Zone Promotion Play-off Round Robin, Round 1, E-World FC wasted no time crushing Campos to claim all three points.

Patrick Kayang gave E-World FC an early lead when he calmly converted a penalty just 21 minutes into the match.

Only eight minutes later, Godwin Onu curled in a sensational free kick to double the advantage.

The second half saw E-World continue their dominance. Kayang stepped up again to convert another penalty in the 56th minute, sealing Campos’ fate.

Benjamin Onyekachi pulled one back for Campos FC, but it was no more than a consolation as E-World held firm to seal a 3-1 win at the end of the final whistle.

Rocket Salvage Draw After Late Drama

In the second match of the day, FC One Rocket and Ahudiyannema FC served up another talking point.

After a goalless first half, Ahudiyannema FC found the net in the 55th minute through a questionable penalty.

However, FC One Rocket refused to give up. Just nine minutes before full-time, a defensive mix-up by Ahudiyannema FC gifted Rocket the equaliser, ending the game at 1-1 even after five minutes of extra time.

What’s Next for E-World FC and Ozalla FC

Matchday two promises more fireworks. Campos will face Ahudiyannema FC at 9:00 AM, while E-World returns to action against FC One Rocket at 11:00 AM.

With this strong start, E-World will hope to build on their sweet win over Campos and keep their promotion dream alive.
