GAMBO Mohammed’s 45th minute strike ensured that Kano Pillars come from behind to beat hard-fighting Nasarawa United 2-1 in a week 11 Nigeria Professional Football Leagus clash at the Sani Abacha Stadium on Sunday.
Gambo returned to Sai Musa Gida’s line up and led the team’s attack against Solid Miners after he has fully recovered from an ankle injury.
The gangling striker started from the bench in his team’s last game at Giwa, which they lost 2-0 in midweek.
Kano Pillars came from behind to beat Nasarawa United 2-1 to avenge a loss last season, which saw them surrender their 12-year home invincibility.
Nasarawa, who ended Pillars unbeaten run last season, got the opening goal in the game in the 15th minute through Esosa Igbinoba, before Adamu Mohammed equalised for the home team in the 38th minute.
Captain Gambo Mohammed completed their comeback with the winner in the 45th minute.
Pillars now have 18 points from 10 games while Nasarawa have six points from eight games.
