NPFL: MFM FC Shocked in Ilorin, Insurance Holds Enyimba in Aba - THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
Match-day 14 of the NPFL produced some stunning results in the Group A of the ongoing season yesterday as high-flying MFM FC was handed a 1-0 defeat in Ilorin yesterday by Kwara United.Despite the defeat, the Olukoya Boys remain on top of the Group A log on 23 points from 14 matches.Former champions Rangers International step up to the second position on the log following a 1-0 win against Katsina United at the Cathedral in Enugu.
Isa Gata put the hosts ahead three minutes before the break, while Victor Chidume levelled scores for Remo Stars two minutes after the hour mark. Abdullahi Musa however scored the winning goal a minute before regulation time. The forward rifled home with fearsome force after Cletus Emotan nonchalantly rolled an indirect free kick onto his path from 25 yards on the half hour in the well-fought contest decided at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, Port Harcourt.
Akwa United returned to first position in Group B after a comfortable 2-0 win against Gombe United at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, Uyo.
