A 90th minute penalty from goalkeeper Terkaa Melai gifted Lobi Stars a hard-fought 1-0 victory ove Kaduna United.
The first half ended with the scores locked at 0-0 with both sides failing to create meaningful opportunities.
Kaduna United, looking to secure their first away point in two years,
approached the second half with a discipline display and forced the host
to few speculative efforts from range that didn't trouble goalkeeper
Afeesoh Rabiu.
At the other end, Siman Yusuf and Ali Adamu struggled to test Lobi's
safe hand Terkai Melai, but Isah Aminu made the goal-scoring keeper work
in the 69th minute with a smart shot that tested Terkai reflexes.
However in the 90th minute of play with the ball firmly in the half of
Kaduna United, Lobi were awarded a penalty, keeper Terkai Melai stepped
up and dispatched his the spot-kick
The penalty surprisingly wasn't the last effort of the game, as Fidelis
Eze failed to punish Peter Ambrose's error in the dying seconds of time
added on.
The game ended with Lobi securing the victory, while Kaduna United
largely impressive in their display, will feel hard done by the penalty
from which Lobi secured all three points
