Pillars shoots to the top of NPL as Rangers suffers defeat

Kano Pillars on Wednesday evening defeated Akwa United by a lone goal to move to the summit of the Nigerian Premier League table. The 2008 league champions are now on top of the table with a total of 64 points from 37 matches while Lobi Stars are second with 63 points. Lobi Stars hammered Enugu Rangers by three goals to nil in Katsina-Ala on the same day. Enugu Rangers are now third on the table with 61 points and they must win their last league match and hope that Lobi Stars do not win while Kano Pillars lose. Enugu Rangers have not won any trophy since 1984/85 season.
Meanwhile, Jigawa Golden stars defeated Enyimba FC by 1-0 in Hadejia to further compound the woes of the former champions. Warri Wolves also ended the title aspirations of Shooting Stars of Ibadan after a 1-0 win.
