2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 17: Peace Boys endure Lobi Stars' sting in North-Central derby

Posted : 16 December 2024

Rooted at the bottom of the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) standings and heading into Match Day 17's schedule at the Lafia City Stadium, Lobi Stars of Makurdi had endured a mix of fortunes, producing only one win in their last five games, which clearly provided anxious moments for their current handler and former Super Eagles forward, Daniel Amokachi.


The Peace Boys' two wins in five games were only enough to earn points, but near misses against Akwa United and Bendel Insurance on Match Days 14 and 15, respectively, failed to yield positive results despite commendable efforts.

Still unable to call on any of his recognized forwards, with injured players Benard Mundi, Albert Hilary, or even Rotshak John, Mbwas Mangut had to adapt anyway.


Plateau United's Ibeh Michael, Mafeng Pam, and Samuel Kalu all had the potential to impact the game's outcome.


Conversely, Lobi Stars' Segun Oloruntoba and Waheed Adebayo came closest until the deep stages of the first half when Waheed's tenacity paid off, putting the hosts 1-0 up, amidst other attempts from both sides.


Lobi Stars' Chief Coach, Mika Lonstromm, and Plateau United's Technical Adviser, Mbwas Mangut, admitted the game's high intensity and competitiveness but differed in their eventual reactions to the outcome.


A trip back to Jos and a fixture on Match Day 18 against Enyimba International of Aba are up next for the Peace Boys, offering a fresh chance to return to winning ways.
