Baby of the Nigeria Premier Football League, Ikorodu City, continued to progress, ending the unbeaten home run of Katsina United in a 2-1 away victory on Sunday.
After ending Rivers United’s unbeaten run of the season last weekend, it was another record breaking for the newly-promoted side as they moved to 11th position on the table from 18th.
Emmanuel Solomon was the hero, scoring the winning goal in the 89th minute after Solomon Alade had scored the equalizer in the 44th minute. Moses Effiong put the home team ahead in the 22nd minute of the fierce encounter.
It was another bad outing for former Super Eagles’ coach, Finidi George, who lost his second match of the season and first at home after suffering a 2-0 away defeat against Ikorodu City.
It was the turn of Bayelsa United, who secured a 1-0 win in Port Harcourt as the former table leaders Rivers United’s fortune continue to dwindle.
In other games played at the weekend, Heartland defeated Sunshine Stars 1-0, with Niger Tornadoes also beating Akwa United 1-0.
Earlier on Saturday, Kano Pillars defeated Bendel Insurance 1-0 away from home with ageless forward, Rabiu Ali, scoring the only goal of the game.
