Newly promoted Bendel Insurance secured her first maximum points of the 2018/2019 Nigeria Professional Football League season with a 1 – 0 win over CAF Champions League campaigners Lobi Stars of Makurdi at the Uniben sports complex on Monday.
Skipper Charles Omokaro scored the only goal of the game in the 71st minute to secure all three points for the Benin Arsenal who have recorded their first home win in the league after failing to beat Kwara United in their first home game.
The team’s performance has been commended by fans as an improvement from their last home match against the Harmony Boys of Ilorin and head coach of the team Baldwin Bazuaye has stated that they will keep improving and playing good football. “We are going to continue playing like this because we played a good side too.
A team that is playing continental games and they have been playing even before others started. It was not a bad game at least we came out better than what we did last time and I think other matches we will keep getting better.”
Insurance has garnered a total of six points in five games so far at the ongoing league winning once and drawing thrice.
