Akwa United defeated Kwara United 2-1 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Sunday in one of the week fourteen games of the 2020/2021 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) games that went down in various centres.
The Promise Keepers hit the bulls eyes first in the 38th minutes through Ubong Friday and pressed forward for more goals but the first half ended thus.
On resumption, the visitors, Kwara United, pushed for equalizer but it was the home team that doubled their lead as Nasiru Jibril netted in the 69th minute to make it two goals for the former CAF Confederation Cup campaigners.
Kwara United pulled one back in the 80th minute through Wasiu Alalade and all efforts from both teams to score ended fruitless as the match ended thus.

In Katsina, the home side, Katsina United, defeated Warri Wolves 1-0, even as another Oriental Derby between Enyimba International and Heartland of Owerri could not produce a goal after full time. (Daily Independent)
