Ikorodu City have maintained their firm grip on top of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after securing a valuable away point in a goalless draw against Wikki Tourists at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium.
The Oga Boys remain at the summit with 28 points from 16 matches, losing just once in their last 11 outings—form that clearly reflects their credentials as title contenders.
It was another frustrating night for Wikki Tourists, as the Bauchi giants were once again held to a goalless result.
The match at the ATB Stadium was filled with intensity, with the hosts showing strong attacking intent from kickoff. Wikki Tourists created several promising opportunities, but their recurring lack of clinical finishing proved costly.
Ikorodu City, who arrived in Bauchi as league leaders, appeared comfortable absorbing pressure. Their defensive discipline and well-organized structure indicated a clear game plan—to secure at least a point—and they executed it perfectly.
Wikki Tourists made several halftime substitutions in search of a breakthrough, but despite improved energy and tactical adjustments, they could not find the elusive goal.
Ikorodu City's compact defending and timely clearances ensured that both sides shared the spoils at full time.
With the draw, Wikki Tourists now shift focus to a difficult Matchday 17 fixture away to Rivers United in Port Harcourt. The team will be eager to convert their chances and secure maximum points as the season progresses.
