NPFL MD 7 Report: Effiong Strike Secures Akwa United's Second Win Of The Season

  NPFL MD 7 Report: Effiong Strike Secures Akwa United's Second Win Of The Season By Omolagba Oluwayemi A brilliant header from Ndifreke Effiong in the 29 minutes was enough for Akwa United to secure their second win of the season, BSNsports.com.ng reports. The Promise Keepers came close to taken the lead in the 6th minutes when Ndifreke Effiong meets Etboy Akpan's cross with a good header only for the ball to fly just over the bar. Ubong Friday, Saidu Salisu, and Effiong all came close to giving Akwa United the lead before the breakthrough finally arrived in the 29th minute. Idrissu with a point blank save denied Effiong his second before the break with Pillars unable to muster a chance before the break. Idrissu was again called into action in the 49th minutes making an impressive double save to deny first Mfon Udoh from point blank range before getting up quickly to block Saidu Salisu's rebound. It wasn't the kind of afternoon Pillars would love to remember as the find it difficult to create chances and also failing to move top of the log. Pillars remain 6th why Akwa United still outside the top half of the log. The match day 7 continues tomorrow with Lobi Stars and Akwa United to be televised on the NTA and NPFLTv app
