NPFL Review: El-Kanemi Warriors, Akwa United suffer heavy defeats

NPFL Review: El-Kanemi Warriors, Akwa United suffer heavy defeats

The top teams in Group B of the Nigeria Professional Football League, El-Kanemi Warriors and Akwa United, were condemned to heavy defeats in their respective matchday 16 ties on Sunday.

While El-Kanemi Warriors were mauled 5-1 in Lafia by Nasarawa United, Akwa United were beaten 3-0 in Jos by Plateau United.

However, despite the heavy bashing, both Akwa United and El-Kanemi are still leading the pack in Group B with the Promise Keepers in the first spot with 28 points from 16 games.

The Borno Army are in second place also with 28 points but with an inferior goal difference.

In some of the other matches in Group B, GO Round FC defeated Heartland 2-1 in Omoku.

Sadiq Ololade and Adeseun Adelani were the goal scorers for GO Round while the solitary goal from Uche Oguchi could not get the Naze Millionaires a share of the spoils from the matchday 16 encounter.

In Kano, Pillars’ quest for one of the three playoff spots was dealt a blow as the Pyramid Boys were held to a 1-1 draw by Gombe United.

Rabiu Ali had given Kano Pillars the lead from the penalty spot late in the first half. But as soon as the second half resumed, the Scorpions drew level with Adamu Mohammed scoring for the visitors in the 48th minute.

In Group A, Enugu Rangers got their revenge over MFM as they beat the Olukoya Boys 1-0.
