In a lively pre-season friendly match at the Lafia City Stadium, Nasarawa United FC demonstrated their prowess by defeating a determined Lafia Stars side. The encounter saw Adamu Hassan, both assisting and scoring, leaving fans enthralled.
The match kicked off with a slow pace, as the Solid Miners initially encountered difficulties in penetrating the resilient defense of their opponents. Nevertheless, the hosts persevered and ultimately found their way through. In a brilliant play, Adamu Hassan navigated through the opposing traffic, delivering an artful assist to the mercurial midfielder, Musa Musa, who expertly slid the ball past the away side’s goalkeeper, securing the first goal of the match in the 65th minute.
Not content with being the provider, Adamu Hassan later found the back of the net himself, extending the lead to 2-0 just four minutes later. An inch-perfect cross from the right back, Samson Drambi, found Hassan, the former Kano Pillars striker, who athletically headed the ball above the grasp of the helpless goalkeeper.
The scoreline held steady until the end of regulation time, marking another successful day for the Solid Miners as they continue their pre-season preparations for the 2023 Nigeria National League (NNL) season. This victory exemplified their readiness for the challenges that lie ahead.
