Plateau United have defeated Heartland FC 3-0 to secure their first league victory in the ongoing 2020/21 Nigeria Professional Football League season.
Desirous of ending the winless streak, Mohammed Zulkifisu scored his side’s first goal of the season in all competitions in the 18th minute. This goal is the first goal in 378 minutes of action for the Jos-based side.
In the 26th minute, Heartland had their first real attack but the shot from Chidera Eze was blocked.
In the 40th minute, Zulkifisu nearly doubled the lead but Heartland goalkeeper, Chijioke Ejiogu, popularly known as Arugo Monkey was at hand to stop the left-footed ferocious long-range shot.
