By Taofeek Babalola

El Kanemi Warriors midfielder, Mathias Samuel continues his impressive run in the ongoing season as he netted his 11th goal of the season during his side’s 2-1 win over Rivers United in the matchday 21 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) encounter in Maiduguri on Sunday, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports. 

The former Kano Pillars star scored from the spot in the 11th minute when center referee awarded a penalty for the homers after Bello Kofarmata was fouled in the 18 yard box. Kofarmata had earlier put the ball in the net in the second minute but it was ruled out for offside.

New signing Bala Yahuza scored the second goal from a goalmouth scramble in the 81th minute. Yahuza joined El Kanemi warriors from Sunshine Stars during the mid-transfer window.  Yahuza almost grabbed his brace in the 89th minute but his effort was deflected away for a corner kick.

However, Onoriode Odah who came on for Nzube Anaezemba in the 87th minute scored a consolation goal for the visitors with his debut goal in the 90th minute but his effort was not enough to stop Rivers United from defeat.

The win moved El Kanemi Warriors to second position on the log with 36 points. 

El-Kanemi Warriors are the only side with a 100% home record in the NPFL this season.
