Only Akwa United were the only club to pick an away point out of the four matches
The matchday two fixtures of the Nigerian Premier Football League got underway on Wednesday, with four games played across different venues.Just as Coach Finidi George complained during his interview with PREMIUM TIMES last week, inconsistency has set in for the People Elephants just two games into the new season.
Akwa United threatened to get the opening goal ahead of their hosts in the sixth minute but Ahmadu Liman’s shot was parried for the Promise Keepers’ first corner. The situation was not any different in the second half as both teams still failed to break the deadlock. The Flying Antelopes no were hard on the hosts, trying to pick at least a point to salvage the defeat against Oriental rivals, Abia Warriors, but a late Joseph Atule’s strike dashed Rangers’ hopes.The Kabiru Dogo side, who lost the Northern derby to Niger Tornadoes, scored in the first minute from Ismaila Maiyaki’s strike.
