Gombe, Jan. 23, 2019 (NAN) Gombe United Football Club on Wednesday defeated visiting Kano Pillars FC 2-0 in a 2018/2019 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) fixture in Gombe.

The hosts secured the two goals in the Match Day 4 fixture in the 42nd and 70th minutes through Adamu Musa and Babangida Ibrahim.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the win is Gombe United’s first this season, after they lost their first match against Kada City 2-1.

In a post-match briefing, Ibrahim Musa, the Technical Adviser of Kano Pillars FC, said the match was a good game and they were not supposed to lose it.

“I can’t speak much about my team because I left them for three months and the Kano Pillars I left is not the one I saw.

“Notwithstanding, we have to go back to the drawing board and correct our mistakes ahead of the next match,” he said.

Coach Ladan Bosso of Gombe United FC, on his part, said he felt great about the victory, noting that the match had given the team the needed confidence to push ahead.

“I thank the fans for turning out in their numbers to support the team and for exhibiting good behaviour throughout the match.

“I am also satisfied with the officiating and it should be sustained to boost the credibility of the league,’’ he said.(NAN)
