NPFL Matchday 17 Wrap: Mfon Udoh shoots Akwa United back to top spot

Akwa United have returned to top spot in Group B of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after they came from behind to beat Nasarawa United 2-1 on Sunday at the Nest of Champions in Uyo.

Thomas Adeshina caused a stir when he shot the Solid Miners in front after benefiting from a defensive mix up.

However, Mfon Udoh scored from the penalty spot, his ninth goal of the season to draw the hosts level before Etboy Akpan scored what turned out to be the winning goal just before half-time.
