NPFL: Nasarawa Go Top After Vital Win In Benin

Nasarawa United recorded a vital win away to Bendel Insurance of Benin to go top of the log.

The Lafia outfit secured a hard fought 1-0 victory against their hosts to climb to the top of the table after seven rounds of games.

Enyimba remain three points adrift in second after only securing a goalless draw at home to Rivers United.

Abia Warriors put their Continental disappointment behind to defeat Kwara United who themselves suffered defeat on the continent.

Rivers United are fourth with a game in hand just like Abia Warriors. Both teams have outstanding fixtures due to continental engagements.

Shooting Stars are now fifth thanks to a late drama in Ibadan that saw them defeat Plateau United on Sunday.

Scenes from the bench

Pure joy and celebrations after that dramatic stoppage-time winner.

Moments that show the unity, belief, and fighting spirit in this team. 💙⭐

Kano Pillars sit at the foot of the table with four points albeit with two outstanding games to play.

Newly promoted sides Kin Khalifat and Barau FC join Rangers in completing the bottom four.

Although, Rangers have two games in hand, Ladan Bosso’s Barau side have played one less.

Nasarawa would be hoping to hold onto their lead when host Rangers next.
