Kano Pillars are the new leaders of the Nigeria Professional Football League after beating Sunshine Stars 1-0 at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.
The midweek matchday 12 fixture had so much to offer both sides. Kano Pillars lost their last match 1-0 to Lobi Stars while Sunshine Stars played 1-1 with Heartland in Akure.
Nyima Nwagua’s goal in the 9th minute made the difference and also shot Sai Masu Gida to the top of the league table. It also secured a 7th win of the season for Coach Lionel Soccia team who are in a good position to compete for the league title.
Akwa United have recorded their second win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Kano Pillars on matchday 7 of the Nigeria Professional Football League.
The Promise Keepers, struggling with a shaky start to the new season recording just one win, 2 losses and 3 draws in 6 matches. Considering, how they lost to Heartland on matchday 6 in Owerri, Coach Kennedy Boboye’s team needed to get back to winning ways through a difficult test against Kano Pillars.
Coach Boboye who couldn’t take charge of the team because of the ban he is serving 1 one-match ban for comments he made in Owerri, will give hugs to his players and technical crew for taking off some of the pressure.
