NPFL: LOBI AND AKWA UTD WIN AWAY, EXTENDS UNBEATEN RUNS

Bendel Insurance defeated Kwara United 1-0 on Sunday at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan to retain their unbeaten streaks in the Nigeria Premier Football League.

In the 25th minute, Imade Osehenkhoe scored the game’s sole goal to give Benin Arsenal all three points at stake.

In his last four league games, Osehenkhoe has scored twice. At home against Lobi Stars, Abia Warriors lost 0-1 after a strong start to the new campaign thanks to a goal from Kumaga Suur after 56 minutes. There was no winner in the first half of a cagey match that pitted the Warriors, who had two victories, against the Makurdi team, who had a loss and a victory.

However, the final score should have been different because Umar Abba was unable to beat goalkeeper Femi Thomas in a one-on-one scenario in the 38th minute.

However, Suur scored his first league goal of the year and Lobi’s winning goal in the second half of the match after Joseph Atule made a great pass to him.

As a result, Lobi Stars have now won their last two matches. In their following match, they host recently promoted Bayelsa United.

Akwa United defeated Nasarawa United 3-0 at home in Jos. It was the Promise Keepers’ opening victory of the fight.

James Ajako scored one goal, and Ndifreke Effiong scored two goals.

At the Umuahia Township Stadium, another away victory was recorded.

Sunshine Stars forced Rangers to a 1-1 draw in the Awka City Stadium.

On minute 11, Austin Ikemdinachi scored for Rangers by putting the ball in his own net.

Ibrahim Yusuf equalised for the visitors nine minutes before the break.
