Kano Pillars FC secured their second away victory of the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League season on Saturday, Nov. 9, edging out Bendel Insurance with a last-minute goal in Match Day 11.

After the regulation 90 minutes, the referee allotted 7 additional minutes. In the final moments of this extra time, Sai Masu Gida were awarded a penalty after a Bendel Insurance defender handled the ball inside the 18-yard box while attempting to block Ahmed Musa’s shot. 


Rabiu Ali stepped up confidently and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way, dispatching the ball into the net.


This goal further extended Ali’s remarkable goal-scoring record in the NPFL and marked his sixth goal of the current season.


In his post-match interview, Technical Adviser Usman Abdallah praised his players' composure and resilience throughout the game. He noted that his team has now rebounded from recent points dropped at home and is focused on maintaining their strong away form this season.


The Pyramid City side has so far collected maximum points against both Rangers and Bendel Insurance on the road and earned a point from Bayelsa United in Yenagoa.


Abdallah, a former Super Eagles Assistant Coach, acknowledged the overwhelming support from fans, especially during away matches, and dedicated the win to the loyal supporters who turned out in large numbers to cheer on the NPFL giants.


Next up, Kano Pillars will host Heartland FC in Match Day 12 of the 2024/25 NPFL season, looking to build on Saturday’s triumph.
