With Wednesday’s victory in the match played at the Kwara Stadium Complex, Ilorin, Kwara United have now moved from the seventh to the fourth position on the NPFL’s log.
However, their position on the table will depend on the result of Rangers versus Nasarawa United’s match on Thursday.
In a game of few chances in the first half, Alao Danbani scored the only goal in the 17th minute of play when he followed up on Samad Kadiri’s rebound to head past Olorunleke Ojo.
The goal came after a fantastic Kwara United team play when Kadiri hit the ball towards the Enyimba goal for Danbani to head past Ojo to give the homers the lead.
Danbani would have scored a brace in the 23rd minute but wasted the opportunity by placing the ball over the bar after meeting Abdulafeez Musa’s beautiful pass.
The second half started with Enyimba pegging Kwara United to their area where they too defended well before the hosts wrestled possession from them.
Enyimba’s Sadiq Abubakar hit the woodwork in the 58th minute in one of the fewer chances created by the visitors, but Finidi George’s decision to bring out Austin Oladapo for Cyril Olisema gave Kwara United control of the game.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the duo of Kabiru Balogun and Samad Kadiri were a handful for Enyimba for most parts of the second half of the encounter.
Exchange of fair tackles occurred in the closing stages of the match to the admiration of soccer fans at the Kwara Stadium Complex.
