El-Kanemi Warriors FC duo Abbas Usman and Daddy Abdulrahman have been named in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Team of the Week following their outstanding performances in Matchday 7 against Kano Pillars FC.
Abbas Usman, the experienced left full-back, was solid throughout the 90 minutes, showcasing composure, discipline, and leadership in defence.
The Kano-born former Nigeria U20 international stood tall against veteran forward Ahmed Musa, keeping the Pillars captain quiet for most of the encounter. His defensive brilliance and calm play were crucial to El-Kanemi’s victory.
Substitute sensation Daddy Abdulrahman changed the game after coming on in the 38th minute for Mas’ud Danjuma.
The Kano-born midfield maestro quickly adapted to Coach Kabiru Dogo’s tactical setup, displaying creativity, strength, and intelligence in midfield.
Abdulrahman scored a spectacular goal in the 60th minute to give the Warriors the lead before sealing the win with another stunning strike in the 80th minute.
His commanding display in the middle of the park stood out even against seasoned Pillars players like Rabiu Ali and Aminu Obi.
El-Kanemi Warriors fans have since congratulated the duo, celebrating their inclusion in the league’s elite list.
“Their recognition is a big plus for the Mighty Warriors and a clear indication of the team’s growing strength and determination under Coach Kabiru Dogo,” the supporters said in a statement.
