KWARA United FC on Friday underscored
their determination to return to the Premier League with a 1-0 defeat of
Supreme Court FC of Abuja, to make it two wins out of two in the on-going
2015/2016 NNL.
Substitute Segun Alebiosu,
who was introduced in the 75th minute for Esobe Chukwudi nodded home at close
range from Abubakar Yusuf's cross in the 87th minute, to score the only goal of
the crucial encounter.
The two teams gave good
account of themselves, with the homers taking the initiative from the first
minute, but the experienced Kwara United FC players did well to put situation
under control.
Michael Ohanu lost a clear
chance for Kwara United FC with only the goalkeeper to beat in the 12th minute.
The mesmerising Supreme
Court players took over the midfield, but that was shortlived with the
brilliance of Aduquo Philips and Osemeka Onyegbuna, who both combined well with
the defence and the attack.
Kwara United FC came into
the second half more determined, and the pressure increased as the game goes
on, especially with the introduction of Oladapo Augustine for Jimoh Ahmed and
Chinedu Akovou for Michael Ohanu.
Alebiosu also came in later
to add value to the attack, and got the needed decider just 12 minutes after
his introduction.
Coach John Sam Obuh
commended his boys for the victory, adding that his opponent were highly
determined in the match.
Coach Osuji Joachim of
Spreme Court FC said that inexperience caused them the game despite that his
boys put in their best. He said that they will make
up for the loss in subsequent games.
Kwara United FC will play
Dream International FC of Makurdi in their next game in Ilorin.
