Obuh says Kwara United is on course

-

Kwara United is on course to return to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after winning all first three games in the Nigeria National League (NNL), according to the club’s Technical Adviser, John Obuh.
Kwara United defeated Dream International of Makurdi 3-1 at the main bowl of Kwara State Stadium, Ilorin.
Segun Alebiosu opened scores for Kwara United from the spot in the 22nd minute, after Dream International defender handled the ball in the box.
The euphoria was yet to die down when the visitors equalised through Tony Obonogwu, 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 back into the game.
Alebiosu scored his second goal in the 62nd minute for the third goal.
Obuh said the Harmony Warriors initially took its opponent for granted, but the half time pep talk was enough for the team to come back fully into the game.
Obuh praised his players, especially in the second half, which proved decisive in the crucial encounter.
The win also ensured that Kwara United retains leadership of the Group A2 table, with nine points from three matches.
The team will play Gombe United in Gombe today, Sunday, June 19 in Week Four of the NNL.
