****Kano Pillars and Bayelsa United Share the Spoils in Hard-Fought Draw*****
Kano Pillars dominated the first half, with Anwal Malam stunning the home crowd by scoring in the 40th minute, as the visitors seized control early on.
Both teams came into the match low on confidence: Bayelsa United had suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat in their previous away game against Sunshine Stars. The home side struggled to find their rhythm, though Gabriel Biriduba stood out with solid defensive play.
In the second half, Bayelsa United’s Technical Advisor, Ladan Bosso, made strategic changes that shifted the momentum. His adjustments paid off when Rabiu Abdullai scored in the 56th minute, easing the tension among the fans and bringing the game back to level terms. Despite Bayelsa’s persistent pressure, Kano Pillars’ defense held firm.
Post-match, Ladan Bosso praised his team’s effort and expressed optimism for future performances, promising better results in upcoming fixtures.
