Nasarawa United's Kabiru Dogo has said that his side nobody gave his side the chance to beat Kano Pillars in a match day nine 2024/2025 NPFL game, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Solid Miners pulled off a stunning 1-0 victory over Kano Pillars at a packed Lafia City Stadium on a blockbuster Sunday.

The hosts dominated the early exchanges, with rave of the moment, Anas Yusuf, scoring in the 40th minute of the first-half with a clinical finish from a tight angle, his 9th goal in nine games in the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League Season.

The victory propelled Nasarawa United to 8th position in the league table with 12 points, while Pillars dropped to 12th position with 11 points.

"We are very happy for this victory today, our second at home this season. This is very massive for everyone in Nasarawa State.

"It's a result nobody expected us to get, especially going by the array of highly experienced players Kano Pillars paraded today, like Ahmed Musa, Shehu Abdullahi and Rabiu Ali (Pele), but glory be to God that we won at last.

"We would have recorded about three goals today because we dominated them in all facets and squandered some glorious chances. However, we are still comfortable with the one-goal win, which also equals three points.

 "Our next game is against Rangers in Enugu next weekend, and we intend to approach the game as it comes."

The Solid Miners will travel to face the league's defending Champions and 11th-placed team, Rangers International, at the Cathedral Stadium, Enugu, on match-day ten on Sunday, 3rd November, 2024.
