Wikki Tourists secure first season's win

Players and officials of Wikki Tourists of Bauchi heaved a sigh of relief following a 3-1 win over FC Ifeanyi Ubah in the match-day 5 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) tie played at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi on Sunday.

The Big Elephants were desperate for it’s first win of the season following a below per performances in their last four matches so far.

The development prompted the management to read the riot act to the coaches during an emergency meeting which involved the management and technical crew on Friday to find a lasting solution to the problem.

It seems that the outcome of the meeting had started yielding a positive result with a convincing result against the Anambra Warriors.

It was a clash of the giants as both teams are representing Nigeria in the CAF Confederation Cup this season.

The coach Mohammad Baba Ganaru had managed to secure two draws in their last two home games but Sunday’s win is a sign of good things to come for the team.

The visitors shocked the home team with early goal in the 4th minute through Prince Agreey before new signing Jonathan Guda equalized for Wikki Tourists in the 37th minute. He extended the lead in the 43rd minute to end the first half 2-1 in favour of the home side.


In the second half, Wikki Tourists continued where they stopped in the first half as Mohammed Guda netted the third goal in the 79th minute to nail the coffin of the visitors and sent the ABS stadium into wild jubilation.
