Gombe United defeat unbeaten Bendel Insurance FC

Posted : 23 October 2023

Ahmed Jimoh of Gombe United scored the only goal in the 52nd minute of the second half, securing a 1-0 home victory over Bendel Insurance FC of Benin on Match Day 4 of the 2023/2024 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
 
The match proved to be a cagey and closely contested affair at Pantami Stadium under the scorching Gombe sun.
 
Jimoh netted the sole goal of the match, marking his second of the season for the Savannah Scorpions. He found the back of the net in the 52nd minute with a low drive that eluded the grasp of Benin Arsenals' goalkeeper, Amas Obasagie, nestling into the right corner of the net.
 
Gombe United Football Club's General Manager, Abubakar Yellow, and the Commissioner of Sports and Youth Empowerment, Honorable Adamu Inuwa Pantami, watched the match from the VIP section of the stadium.
 
Following the game, Gombe United's coach, Mohammed Babaganaru, expressed his joy at defeating one of the strongest teams in the country. He stated, "I am very happy that our strategy worked. Insurance has the best defense, and they are very difficult to break. I thank God we were able to break through today. We played against them last season and couldn't score, but they are highly disciplined with strong character. We planned seriously to break their unbeaten run because we all know the history Insurance created last season when they finished the abridged league without losing any match. Our team is improving with a new approach and determination. I am proud of my boys."
 
Gombe United FC will be at home against Plateau United on Sunday, October 28, at Pantami Stadium, Gombe, in the NPFL Match Day 5 fixtures.
