2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 8: Kwara United FC Coach, Sanni rues missed chances against Kano Pillars

Posted : 21 October 2024

Kwara United FC Coach Tunde Sanni on Monday rued his team's missed chances against Kano Pillars in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 8, played at Muhammad Dikko Stadium in Katsina.


Sanni stated that his side would have won the match had it not been for a momentary lapse in concentration from his players during the game.


Recall that Kwara United secured a crucial away point against Kano Pillars with a 1-1 draw in Katsina during Match Day 8 fixtures.


The Harmony Boys dominated possession from the outset, with Akanni Akeem and Shola AbdulRaheem controlling the midfield, while Anthony Anioke and Yahaya Ibrahim anchored the defense.


Despite a goalless first half, Kwara United showed no deference to former Super Eagles players Ahmed Musa and Shehu Abdullahi, who are now playing for Kano Pillars.


Kwara United took the lead in the 59th minute through Issa Gatta, shocking the home fans, especially given Pillars' strong performance against Rangers International in their previous match.


However, Mohammed Zulikifulu equalized for Kano Pillars in the 65th minute.


Despite Pillars' attempts to grab a winner, Kwara United's goalkeeper, Nurudeen Badmus, made several crucial saves, assisted by a solid defense led by Ibrahim, Anioke, and Kabir Muhammed.


After the match, Kwara United's coach, Tunde Sanni, expressed satisfaction with his team's performance but lamented the lapse in concentration that cost them all three points.


He vowed to continue building on this progress as the team heads to Maiduguri for their next game.


Kano Pillars' coach, Ahmed Yaro Yaro, praised Kwara United's strong midfield and admitted that a defensive lapse led to the draw. He promised a stronger performance in future matches.
