2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 10 Review: Katsina United Edge El-Kanemi Warriors 1–0

Posted : 25 October 2025
Auwal Sadiq Abubakar’s early goal handed Katsina United a narrow 1–0 win over El-Kanemi Warriors.

Katsina United claimed a hard-fought 1–0 victory over El-Kanemi Warriors on Matchday 10 of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium.

Auwal Sadiq Abubakar’s 7th-minute strike proved to be the decisive moment of the encounter, giving the Changi Boys all three points in front of their passionate home supporters. The early breakthrough came after a strong start from the hosts, who showed composure and discipline to maintain their lead throughout the game.

El-Kanemi Warriors, however, were left to rue a string of missed chances. Despite dominating possession for large spells, they failed to find the cutting edge needed to convert their opportunities. Their inability to score continues to be a recurring issue that has hindered their progress this season.

Head coach Kabiru Dogo expressed his disappointment after the match, admitting that his team’s wastefulness cost them the game.
“There are no excuses — we played poorly, especially in the first half, and wasted many scoring chances,” Dogo said. “If we want to win matches of this magnitude, then we must take our chances.”

For Katsina United, the result reinforced their impressive home form, extending their unbeaten streak at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium. The win also helps them stay comfortably positioned in the mid-table as the NPFL season gathers momentum.

In contrast, El-Kanemi Warriors’ struggles away from home continued, as they have managed just one win in their last 23 road games. With their creative play often failing to translate into goals, the Desert Warriors will need to sharpen their finishing to turn performances into points.

Katsina United will aim to build on this victory in their next outing, while El-Kanemi Warriors face the challenge of bouncing back and rediscovering their scoring touch as the season progresses.
