Rangers, Enyimba Earn Vital Away Wins As Plateau United Retain NPFL Top Spot

By Daily Sports on March 19, 2020

It was a high-scoring day in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) Matchday 25 fixtures which saw champions Enyimba and Rangers return to the top five of the table as Plateau United still leads following wins for all of them.

In total, 23 goals were scored with the fixture between Dakkada and Rangers producing fives.

In Jos, league leaders extended its unbeaten run to 10 matches after seeing off relegation-threatened Kwara United 2-1 at the new Jos Stadium.

A first half brace from Ibrahim Mustapha, the first from the penalty spot in the 16th minute and another in the 25th minute ensured that Plateau United secured its 4th straight win. Plateau United are still unbeaten in the second round of the season.

Clearly, Abdu Maikaba’s men are the team to beat in the race for the title.

Following the defeat, Kwara United have sunk deeper into the relegation zone at the 18th position, two points from safety.

At the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt, 2nd placed Rivers United kept up the pressure on Plateau United with a routine 2-0 win over Warri Wolves.

A brace from Malachi Ohawume and another goal from Kunle Odunlami ensured that the Pride of Rivers returned to winning ways after losing to Enugu Rangers last Sunday.

They remain four points behind league leaders Plateau United while Warri Wolves are fifteenth, one point from the relegation zone. (NPFL)
