The Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) season began with Doma United emerging as a dominant force. Following the first two matchweeks, Doma United sat at the top of the standings, having won both opening fixtures without conceding a goal. By matchday three, Doma United extended their perfect start to the season with a 2-0 victory over nine-time champions Enyimba at Pantami Stadium. Sadiq Rilwan and Yusuf Fantami provided the goals, securing Doma United’s third consecutive win and ninth point. The club has maintained three consecutive clean sheets since its promotion to the top flight. In response to the loss, Enyimba technical adviser Emmanuel Deutsch expressed confidence in his squad's recovery but highlighted concerns regarding “internal distractions stemming from social media and press reports.” He also credited the club chairman for providing continued financial and personal support to the squad. Doma United head coach Deji Ayeni, who previously coached Enyimba, stated his ambition to establish the “Savannah Tigers” as a significant force in the NPFL. While aiming to compete at the top of the league and impact Nigerian football stakeholders, Ayeni emphasized that the team must continue to improve despite their perfect start.
