Enyimba FC failed to secure back to back win at home as they played a one all draw against Remo Stars in their match day 15 clash of the Nigeria Premier Football League on Sunday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The People's Elephant had to score a late gasp goal to steal a point in the match played at the Enyimba International Stadium.
Phillip Odubia had put the visitors in front before the host scored at the dead of the game as the two teams share the points at regulation time.
