The Oriental derby ended abruptly deep into stoppage time after the mayhem

Drama ensued in Enugu on Sunday, June 9, during the highly anticipated Nigeria Premier Football League clash between Enugu Rangers and reigning champions Enyimba.

The match-day 35 fixture was abandoned deep into stoppage time as fans invaded the pitch after the referee awarded a controversial penalty to the home side.

The Oriental derby lived up to the hype as fans thronged the Cathedral for the potential title decider.

Both sides were unable to break the deadlock, similar to the reverse fixture in Aba, leaving the title race unchanged with Rangers still in the lead with 62 points, while Enyimba followed closely with 60 points.

The result could be potentially damaging for either side, depending on the league board's decision and their performance in the last three rounds of matches.
