Nigerian Premier League Report: El Kanemi Warriors 1-1 Akwa United

El-Kanemi Warriors forced visiting Glo NPFL leaders Akwa United to a 1-1 draw and drop their first set of points at their new home ground in Kano.


Early season leaders,Akwa United surprised El-Kanemi by taking the lead in the 9th minute through Akume who finished brilliantly much to the surprise of the home fans at the Kano Pillars stadium in Kano,the adopted home of El-Kanemi Warriors.

The half ended with Akwa United 1 nil up but they let their lead slip in the 52nd minutes when Hassan Hissien pulled E-Kanemi Warriors level with a smart finish after a nice build up and a through pass from Ndubuisi Ekwruibe.

El-Kanemi warriors went in search of a second to kill the game off but Akwa United proved why they are the league leaders as they defended their lead and occasionally put the pressure on their host with some counter attack moves.

El-Kanemi threw everything at Akwa United but the league leaders who are one of the suprise team of the NPFL so far refused to cave in and the game ended 1-1 with Akwa preserving their unbeaten start to the season and further cemented their grip at the top of the table.
