Friendly: Rabiu scores lone goal as Kwara Utd beat Kogi Utd


By Our Reporter
A 56th minute header by Mohammed Sani Rabiu was all Kwara United needed to defeat Kogi United in a club friendly played at the Kwara State Stadium complex in Ilorin on Saturday.


Kogi United team manager, Ameh Henry had promised to give the Harmony Boys a good match and so it was at the end of 90 minutes.

Both teams exhibited good football artistry individually and as a team it is expected that both teams will use this encounter to correct some wrongs discovered while the game lasted.  

Kwara were the major culprits as they failed to utilized their numerous scoring chances, while Kogi United were superb in the cohesiveness and solid defending.

Coach Tunde Abdulrahman who commended the management of Kwara United for the opportunity to stage the friendly, noted that his boys have picked much positives from the game despite the slim defeat which he described as deserved for his former employer.

Gbenga Akinola, Kwara United's Psychologist said, "If Coach Tunde Abdulrahman boys continue to play in this manner or better still improve on the attack/attempts at goal and not that they ostensibly put up their best because they were playing Kwara United, I am convinced that they will certainly perfect a slot in Nigeria Professional Football League [NPFL] next season."
