Kwara Utd on course for promotion, Obuh assures

THE Technical Adviser of Kwara United FC, John Sam Obuh has said that the team is on course in their journey towards returning to the Premier League, after winning all first three games in the on-going 2015/2016 Nigeria National League (NNL).

Kwara United FC on Saturday defeated Dream International FC of Makurdi at the Main-Bowl of the Kwara State Stadium.


Segun Alebiosu opened scores for Kwara United FC from the spot in the 22nd minute, after Dream International FC defender handled the ball in the box.

But the euphoria welcoming the goal was yet to die down when the visitors equalised through Obonogwu Tony, who tapped in at close range.

Jimoh Ahmed's solo effort beat goalkeeper Obioma Sunny in the 50th minute, and that goal brought Kwara United FC back into the game.

Alebiosu scored his second goal in the game in the 62nd minute, for the third goal.

Obuh said that Kwara United initially took their opponents for granted, but the half time pep talk was enough for the team to come back fully into the game.

Obuh praised the efforts of his players, especially in the second half, which proved decisive in the crucial encounter.

The win also ensured that Kwara United FC sustain their leadership of the Group A2 table, with nine points.

The team will play Akwa United FC on Thursday in Makurdi, in the Round of 32 of the Federation Cup, and also play Gombe United in Gombe on Sunday, in Week Four of the NNL.
