Musa’s Kano Pillars overtake Akwa United as NPFL leaders after Enyimba win

Even without the Super Eagles captain, Sai Masu Gida brightened their title ambitions with a hard-earned home win over Fatai Osho’s men

Ahmed Musa’s Kano Pillars have surpassed Akwa United as leaders of the Nigeria Professional Football League thanks to Sunday’s 2-1 win over Enyimba.

Although the Aba Elephants took an early lead through Victor Mbaoma, the hosts secured a comeback victory thanks to second-half strikes from Rabiu Ali and Ifeanyi Eze.

In dire need of a victory to brighten their title hopes, both teams went to the Sani Abacha Stadium with the ambition of picking up a positive result.
