2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 34: Masterclass Ikorodu City snatches one point in Maiduguri

Posted : 21 April 2025

It was another masterclass performance from the high-flying Ikorodu City FC as they once again snatched a vital away point from the hosts, El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri, in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 34.


There was plenty to be positive about for Ikorodu City FC heading into the fixture, having bagged over 50 goals — a record in the ongoing NPFL season, the highest by all standards and more than league leaders, Remo Stars.


For El-Kanemi Warriors, they have yet to pick up a win since Match Day 27 on March 3rd, recording four defeats and two draws in that stretch.


No doubt, the Desert Warriors — without their talismanic coach, Aliyu Zubair, who was away with the national U-20 team — were looking to turn things around, perhaps even secure the much-needed victory.


The Oga Boys struck first, as forward Emmanuel Solomon gave Ikorodu City the lead in the 41st minute — his 8th goal of the season. However, Sama’ila Bello quickly equalized for the home side just four minutes later.


The temperature in Maiduguri was harsh on the visitors, and the tempo of the game slowed due to fatigue on both sides.


Speaking after the match, Ikorodu City FC coach Nurudeen Aweroro said the team would ensure that they stay focused.


“We need to keep our heads up and aim to play good football to maintain our position.


“The players are alive to their responsibilities and know what is at stake for them,” he said.


The 2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 34 away draw has now earned Ikorodu City FC a third-place standing with 53 points from 34 matches — the same as Abia Warriors in fourth place, but with a superior goal difference.
