NPFL Match Day 18: Akwa Utd lost last minutes battle for qualifications
Posted : 22 May 2023
Akwa United's 1-0 road win against Gombe United at the Pantami Stadium, in the last day of the 2022/2023 Abridged Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) was rendered inconsequential by the victory recorded by Remo Stars' 4-0 demolition of Kwara United.
The Promise Keepers needed Remo Stars to lose their home match to sneak in the qualification ticket, rather the latter won by an interesting margin.
Before the last match, former champions Akwa United were on 29 points just a point behind Remo Stars who were on 30 points.
A win for Akwa United brings their points to 32 which is enough to upstage Remo Stars if they lost out to Kwara United FC which was not to be.
A win for both parties, Akwa United FC and Remo Stars, means the Promise Keepers finished on 32 points while Remo Stars FC finished on 33 points.
For Gombe United, the match was also inconsequential because it did not add to their status as they have nothing to fight for having placed seventh on the table two places above the drop zone.
