Abia Warriors attack Katsina United as NPFL season enters Week Two

On a regular day, the clash between Abia Warriors and Katsina United in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) would not command a high level of interest and attention. But that was before the Ochendo Boys stormed no less a venue than ‘The Cathedral’ in Enugu, tugged with champions Enugu Rangers without any sense of inferiority and conquered without any feeling of remorse, writes thenff.com.

The result was 2-1 against the champions, even as reports indicated that the difference could have been wider on a day the Flying Antelopes were second best throughout.

The journey of 38 weeks and 380 matches started on Saturday in Kano, albeit with a below-par outing as FC IfeanyiUbah ill –advisedly abandoned a game against homers Kano Pillars that was being broadcast live. However, the League Management Company left no one in doubt that misbehavior by anyone or Club would not be condoned this season, by swiftly moving to impose necessary sanctions on the offenders.

Today, the Week 2 matches will take place across the country, with the aforementioned tie in Umuahia Township Stadium between the Warriors and Katsina United in hard focus.
