NPFL: Kano Pillars secure slim win over Katsina United
Kano Pillars Football Club on Saturday, defeated visiting Katsina United 1-0 in the match day two of the Nigeria Premier League (NPL).
Pillars shrugged off their last week away loss to Sunshine of Akure to occupy the driver’s seat in the 27th minutes of the game, when Mustafa Ibrahim found the opponent’s net in front of their home crowd, at the Sani Abacha stadium.
Though the visiting Katsina side upped their game and tried to pull an equaliser, their forays were foiled by the back line of the home side.
Speaking during a post match interview, Coach Absu Maikaba, commended his players, whom he said played to instruction.
Maikaba described the match outcome as rewarding after losing their away game 1-0.
He said the win was massive for his young side being the second match of the season.
“My team will continue to improve and work for victory against Abia Warriors on Wednesday,’’ he said.
Head Coach of Katsina United, Tope Bulus, commended his team for the fighting spirit, saying they would go back to the drawing board to return to winning ways.
