Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin has continued its impressive performance as they secured a point against Kano Pillars on match day 31 of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after a goalless draw.
The Benin Arsenals remained resilient throughout the midweek game, which ended in a 0-0 draw at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.
Bendel entered the game with confidence from their 1-0 victory at home against Sunshine Stars last weekend and were well prepared to take their pound of flesh in Kano. However, the hosts maintained their resistance against Insurance's resurgence.
Recall that the Benin Arsenals surrendered all three points to Kano Pillars in a 1-0 loss in their first-round meeting at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin.
The captain of Insurance FC, Meyiwa Oritseweyinmi, expressed the team's confidence ahead of the match in Kano, saying that it was payback time.
Insurance will host the defending champions, Rangers International of Enugu, on match day 32 after the Federation Cup round of 32 clash with Adamawa Utd, scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, 2025, in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
The valuable away point at Kano Pillars has lifted the Benin Arsenals to 45 points and 7th on the log.
