Mountain of
Fire Miracle and Ministries (MFM) FC defeated Kano Pillars 1-0 in the match-day
5 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) tie played at the Agege
Township Stadium, Lagos on Sunday.
Adebayo
Waheed’s 66th minute goal was all the Olukoya Boys needed to secure maximum
three points in the game.
Waheed made
his debut for the Lagos-based outfit in the encounter when he was thrown into
the fray came on as a second half substitute for AdeKunle Adegboye.
Adegboye had
a chance to give the coach Ilechukwu’s boys a lead in the first half but his
one-on-one opportunity was saved by Kano Pillars' goalkeeper David Obiozor.
The MFM
young star tormented Sai Masu Gida defenders which include the legendry former
Enyimba of Aba captain Chinedu Udoji, Emmenual Anyanwu and Jamiu Alimi.
Waheed justified his inclusion by scoring acrobatic nodding from a cross by
Okorom Stanley to send the soccer Temple Stadium to wild jubilation.
It was an
entertainment first half as both team try to outdo each other but all efforts
yielded no result as the defenders on both side delivered their job effectively
by keeping the strikers away from ball.
Pillars’
striking force of Gambo Muhammad and Adamu Muhammad failed to give away side
anything to take home as their attempts to score were denied by outstanding
defensive trio of Okorom Stanley, Opara Austine and Bashiru Monsuru.
The results
ensured that MFM maintain its second position, having secured seven points in
their last three matches.
The team
travel to Akure on Wednesday to face Sunshine Stars in the match day 6
encounters.
