’Tosin Oluwalowo
The Nigeria Professional Football League returned to action for the first time after a nine-month break with matches in six venues across the country.
The league had been on break after the 2019/20 season was suspended in March and subsequently cancelled in August following the outbreak of COVID-19.
Kwara United recorded the week’s only away victory, defeating last season’s league leaders, Plateau United, 2-0 at the New Jos Stadium.
The Afonja Warriors scored two quick second half goals through Jide Fatokun and Michael Ohanu in the 62nd and 67th minutes to snatch victory.
