Two goals on either side of halftime were enough to see off a spirited Kano Pillars side at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in an NPFL matchday 26 ties.
Surajo Ayeleso kept the visitors in the game in the opening 5 minutes, saving well from Joseph Onoja and Kazie Enyinnaya who saw his effort narrowly miss the target, but the game was flipped on its head moments later.
Sunday Adetunji fired a superb opening goal in the 10th minute finding the top corner from 15 yards out before Paul Acquah made sure of the points 4 minutes after the restart (49th minute) of the second half when he was at the end of a fantastic move to hits home a rebound after Suraj Ayeleso had done well to keep out Sunday Adetunji’s close-range volley.
