2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 24: Abia Warriors Fall 2-0 to Katsina United

Posted : 02 February 2026

Abia Warriors Football Club of Umuahia were defeated 2-0 by Katsina United Football Club in a Matchday 24 Nigeria Premier Football League fixture at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano. Two second-half goals from United’s Uche Collins proved decisive, leaving the Warriors struggling for a breakthrough.

The defeat extends Abia Warriors’ winless run to three games. In response to their previous home draw against Wikki Tourists, head coach Imama Amapakabo made three changes to the starting lineup, bringing in Maxwell Kangeshima, Innocent Gabriel, and Shedrack Asiegbu in place of Sunday Megwo, Innocent Godwin, and Ekpere Oguocha.

The first half ended goalless, with Abia Warriors keeping the hosts at bay in a tense, cagey encounter. However, the second half saw defensive errors cost them dearly. In the 57th minute, a lapse allowed Uche Collins to control a long ball and score the opener after a 180-degree turn.

Katsina United doubled their lead around the hour mark following a misplay by the Warriors’ defense. A routine goal kick was mishandled, allowing Azeez Falolu to set up Uche Collins, who calmly converted to complete his brace.

Despite substitutions and tactical adjustments from the Warriors’ bench, Katsina United maintained their advantage and secured their second victory in three games, leaving Abia Warriors to rue missed opportunities.

The Umuahia-based side will now return home to prepare for Matchday 25, where they will face Rangers International FC of Enugu in another eagerly anticipated Oriental derby.
