Enyimba back on top after pipping Pillars
Enyimba now set the pace on the league table with 45 points from 24 games, displacing Sunshine who failed to win at Dolphins.
It was coach Mohammed Babaganaru's first loss since he took over Pillars in the second round of the championship.
Ifeanyi George was the match winner as he converted a spot kick in the 28th minute after a Pillars player handled the ball inside 18-yard box.
Pillars have the first chance at goal through Bala Mohammed, who shot wide from the edge of the box in the fifth minute.
In the 19th minute, goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai had to run out of his area to clear a dangerous ball before Peter Onyekachi could pounce on it.
Five minutes later, Kingsley Sokari's effort was deflected for corner by Emmanuel Olowo.
In the 33rd minute, Solari tested Afelokhai with a free kick.
Flying Eagles defender Zarahadeen Bello debuted for Pillars as he was stoppage time substitute for Eneji Otekpa.
