Anas Yusuf’s 25th minute goal was all Nasarawa United needed to scoop all three points off the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League’s leaders, Remo Stars, in the match-day 26 tie on Wednesday afternoon at the Lafia City Stadium.
Left back, Mubarak Hussaini’s dangerous cross into the box was met by the league’s leading goalscorer, Anas, who tucked in the ball into an empty net, his 14th goal of the season.
The Solid Miners held on to the solitary strike till regulation time in the highly anticipated clash watched by the Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State, Dr. Emmanuel Agbadu Akabe, as well as Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Hon. Kwanta Yakubu who boosted the scorer’s morale with the sum of One Hundred Thousand Naira, and Permanent Secretary, Dr. Ibrahim Adamu Alhassan, to strengthen the team’s unrelenting desire to beat the drop zone.
Today’s result means United are now 17th on the log with 30 points from 26 games.
The team will travel to Umuahia, Abia State, for a date with Abia Warriors, on match-day 27, slated for Sunday, 2nd March, 2025, before returning to host Sunshine Stars, a week later in Lafia
