By Taofeek Babalola

Kano Pillars suffered a 3-1 defeat to Nigeria National League (NNL) side, Kaduna United in one of the friendly matches’ line up for the team before the restart of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.

The defeat to Kaduna United was Pillars’ first loss in the seven tune-up matches played so far since the League Management Company (LMC) suspended the league. The Pyramid City outfit played seven matches; won four, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Samsion Pius netted two goals while Elijah John scored one goal in a 3-1 rout over the former league champions. Adamu Hassan scored a consolation for Kano Pillars.

The Sai Masu Gida had played so many Grade A friendly matches as a way to keep the players fit for the league resumption.

The Kano based side came out victorious in the previous games played against Kada Stars from Kaduna 1-0 and Jidano FC of Kano 4-1 while played a 1-1 draw against Jigawa Golden Stars.

In a chat with Sportinglens.blogspot.com, the club’s Media Officer, Idris Malikawa said the team’s loss defeat to Kaduna United will help the technical crew led by Ibrahim Musa to correct their mistakes before the league resumption.

“The friendly matches are part of the preparation for the league resumption. So with what happened against Kaduna United, we are now realising where we have mistakes and any players who is not ready to do his job with seriousness can step aside. The technical crew should study where they have problems for necessary action before the league resumption. The friendly matches will sustain the relationship between Kano and Kaduna as well as other neighbouring states,” Malikawa said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.
