2025 President Federation Cup: Nasarawa United FC makes sweet revenge over Bayelsa United FC

Posted : 17 April 2025

In a dramatic Round of 16 clash in the 2025 President Federation's Cup, Nasarawa United avenged their 2021 FA Cup final loss to Bayelsa United by defeating them 5-3 in a penalty shootout after regulation time ended 1-1.


The match, played at the Late Prince Abubakar Audu University Stadium, Anyigba, Kogi State, on Wednesday morning, was evenly contested, with both sides creating scoring opportunities.


The Solid Miners and Bayelsa United traded goals, resulting in a 1-1 deadlock after 90 minutes, with Anas Yusuf scoring from the spot for United in the 49th minute after Shina Kumater was brought down inside the box, while Yahaya Ibrahim equalised for the 2021 champions in the 61st minute.


Nasarawa United showed excellent composure and skill in the penalty shootout, converting all five spot-kicks to emerge victorious. Kabir Balogun, Utake Emmanuel, Salomon Chigoziem, Jack Benjamin, and Manga Mohammed all scored their penalties, while Detan Ogundare saved Bayelsa United's Isa Owoyemi's effort.


The hard-fought win sees the Solid Miners advance to the last eight of the longest-running single-knockout inter-club football competition in Nigeria, where they hope to continue their determined push toward a third final appearance within ten years.


United's next opponents will be known after the completion of the other Round of 16 fixtures.


For now, the Coach Salisu Yusuf-led side will turn their attention to the Matchday 34 clash against Bendel Insurance at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, Edo State, this weekend, in the ongoing 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League season.
