Kano Pillars returned to winning ways from three defeats at
a stretch after piping Kwara United 1-0 in a Week 27
encounter played at the Sanni Abacha Stadium on
Wednesday.
Rabiu Ali's solitary early effort were all the Baba Ganaru's
men needed to come out of their epic run of defeat-hit and
resume their ambition to retain title.
Kano Pillars started well against their rivals as they grabbed
the lead early enough through cult-hero Ali who scored in
the seventh minute from a free kick.
The visitors struggled in the opening half to contain their
red-hot hosts who were desperately hungry to redefine their
title destiny following their recent run of poor result.
Thereafter, match-winner Ali saw another opportunity and
fired from close range and his efforts went inches wide in
the 38th minute.
In the second half, Kwara returned stronger with Abdullahi
Ibrahim sneaking past the hosts' back line but had his shot
stopped by goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai in the 48th
minute.
His second effort was denied again by Afelokhai in the 53rd
minute.
Pillars held on to their slim lead and ensured their first win
in four league games. They have 40 points after 27 games
while Kwara United remain stuck on 29 points.
