Akwa United earn comfortable home win

Christian Pyagbara's goal a minute from full time sealed a Akwa United a 2-0 home win against Wikki Tourists, in a rescheduled match day 23 league game on Wednesday.

The Promise Keepers recorded their tenth win of the season which moved them up to sixth position on the table - nine points behind leaders Plateau United.

Poster boy Alhassan Ibrahim made a return to Akwa United's line-up, to good effect, playing an instrumental role in the build-up to their opening goal converted by Musa Newman after 25-minutes of play.

Incidentally, Pyagbara was a 72nd-minute substitute for Newman, and he earned the tag of a super-sub netting right at the death, condemning Wikki Tourists to a 12th league loss of the season - leaving them dangerously close to the drop zone in 16th position.
