NPFL Round-Up: Kano Pillars hammer Delta Force

NPFL Round-Up: Kano Pillars hammer Delta Force

Kano Pillars secured their biggest win in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) in recent times as they hammered Delta Force 6-1 in one of the Matchday 7 fixtures played across the country.

Chijoke Alakwe scored twice while the quartet of David Ebuka, Abdullahi Musa, Auwalu Ali and Rabiu Ali all scored one each as Sai Masu Gida secured their second win of the season in style.

Bala Yazuza scored Delta Force’s only goal.

This is Kano Pillars’ biggest win in the NPFL since June 2016 (5-0 vs Abia Warriors) and they would hope to build on this having started quite poorly this season.

In Okigwe, table toppers Plateau United suffered their first defeat in the NPFL this season after going down to a 1-0 defeat against Heartland

The Jos outfit had gone six games without any defeat but the Naze Millionaires halted the good run to register their own second victory of the campaign.

Despite the defeat, Plateau United maintained top spot on the table with 14 points from seven games

Chibundu Amah scored the winning goal for Heartland in the 73rd minute.

Elsewhere, Wikki Tourists blew away the chance to secure top spot following a 2-0 loss to FC IfeanyiUbah in Nnewi.
