2025/2026 NPFL Match Day 34: Wikki Tourists Boost Survival Hopes with Gritty Win in Yenagoa

Posted : 13 April 2026

Wikki Tourists delivered one of their most determined performances of the season, grinding out a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bayelsa United in Yenagoa on Matchday 34 of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

In a match defined by intensity and fine margins, it was Jonathan Mairiga who once again rose to the occasion.

The forward struck in the 67th minute, powering home a well-timed header from Imamu’s delivery to hand the Bauchi-based side a priceless lead.

The goal, his 10th of the campaign, underlines his importance as Wikki’s attacking spearhead this season.

Bayelsa United enjoyed spells of pressure, particularly in the closing stages, but found it difficult to break down a disciplined Wikki defensive setup.

The visitors remained compact and organized, showing tactical maturity as they absorbed waves of attacks while limiting clear-cut chances.

Coach Evans Ogenyi’s men demonstrated resilience and a clear sense of purpose throughout the contest.

Their ability to stay focused under pressure and execute their game plan proved decisive in securing all three points on the road.

From a broader perspective, this result could prove pivotal in Wikki Tourists’ fight to improve their standing on the table.

With the season entering its final stretch, victories of this nature away from home and under pressure may ultimately define their campaign.

For Bayelsa United, however, it was a frustrating outing, as missed opportunities and a lack of cutting edge in the final third left them empty-handed despite a spirited display.

The crucial away win provides Wikki Tourists with significant momentum as they navigate the remaining fixtures of the NPFL season. Bayelsa United must now regroup quickly to address their offensive struggles before their next league encounter. This gritty performance highlights the competitive nature of the league as teams battle for points in the final stages.
