NPFL Week 7 Match Report: Kwara United 1-0 Kano Pillars

Nigeria Professional Football League Week 7 Match

Venue: Kwara state stadium, Ilorin.


Position on table before match: 10th
Position on table after match: 7th


A first half goal from Emma Eviemere was what Kwara United needed as they beat Kano Pillars 1-0 on match day seven in the ongoing Nigeria Professional Football League on Sunday at the Kwara State Stadium, Ilorin.

It was a tensed game for the Harmony Warriors in the opening minutes of the game.

They opened fire on the away side but failed to hit the back of the net.

The away side stood very strong in the game as Rabiu Ali was thrice denied by goalkeeper Kazeem Yekeen.

It was end to end battle as there was little to choose between the two sides but the home side looked more deadly whenever they were in the attacking third of Kano Pillars.

In the 20th minute, Eviemere broke the deadlock and the first half of the game ended 1-0.

From the recess Kano Pillars began the game on a high spirit searching for the equalizer but Kwara United looked very strong at the back with no margin of error.


The tempo of the game went down as the Harmony Warriors reverted to a defensive tactic which paid off as they won the game 1-0 to lift themselves to 7th on the ladder.
