While Israel Abia of Rangers Internationalwaa crowned the highest goal scorer for the 2019/2020 NPFL season, the race for this season is beginning to shapen up.
With 94 goals scored so far in the 2020/2021 season after 4 match days, the strikers have started accumulating the numbers of goals for themselves.
6 players including Kano Pillars’, Rabiu Ali, Akwa United’s Ndifreke Effiong are tied at the top of the scorer’s chart with 3 goals each.
Lobi Stars’ duo, Samuel Mathias and Martins Ossy alongside Heartland’s Shedrack Oghali and Jigawa Golden Stars’ Samuel Stone are the other four players tied on 3 goals each.
Following closely are the likes of Israel Abia, Sadeeq Yusuf, Amos Gyang, Fortune Omoniwari, Reuben Nicodemus and a host of others who scored twice this season.
More than 10 players have scored a goal this season as they hope to increase their goal tally as the season progresses.
Every team in the NPFL has registered at least a goal this season with Katsina United versus Heartland being the only match to have seen the highest number of goals in a match so far in their 3-2 thriller.
