The Solid Miners were held to a 1-1 draw by Atlantic Integral FC of Suleja, Niger State, in their second Group 'A' match at the ongoing 3rd edition of the Abuja Unity Pre-season Tournament.
The match, held at the Area 3 Football Field, Abuja, saw Nasarawa United take the lead in the second minute of the first half through Anas Yusuf and hold on to the lead until halftime.
However, the Suleja-based side bounced back from the early shock to equalize in the 54th minute after Mohammed Cheche's long-range strike caught goalkeeper Jerry Isaac off guard.
Further efforts by both sides to alter the scoreline proved fruitless, and the points were shared equally at regulation time.
The Solid Miners now have four points from two games, maintaining the lead position in their group.
On Thursday, August 15th, the NPFL returnees will face Like Minds FC in their third game of the competition at 9 o'clock in the morning at the same venue. They will wrap up the group's activities with a crucial match against CKD FC on Friday, August 16th, 2024, at 11 am.
Only two teams will advance to the last eight of the competition, with the final scheduled for Sunday, August 18th, 2024.
