2025/2026 NPFL Match Day 2: Ikorodu City Held to Goalless Draw by El-Kanemi Warriors

Posted : 01 September 2025

Ikorodu City FC once again failed to find the back of the net in the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 2, settling for a goalless draw against El-Kanemi Warriors FC. The Oga Boys are still searching for their first goal of the season.

 

The Oga Boys also ended Match Day 1 without scoring, falling to a 0-0 draw in Ilorin against Kwara United FC.

 

Playing the first home game of the season at their fortress, Mobolaji Johnson Arena, fans had hoped for a goal feast, especially considering last season's home performance where the club scored 48 goals. However, Ikorodu City FC’s strikers struggled to make an impact as El-Kanemi Warriors’ defenders and midfielders effectively kept them at bay.

 

The only notable attempt on target for Ikorodu City came in the 80th minute when Dada cut into the El-Kanemi box and shot, but his effort went off the upright.

 

After the match, El-Kanemi Warriors FC coach Kabir Dogo praised Lagos fans for their support.

 

"Lagos feels like home to me. I have yet to lose a match here in four years.

"We came with the mindset to win, but we are happy to secure a draw.

"The match was well balanced, and both sides created few chances.

"I love coming to Lagos because I know what the fans want: good football, and that’s all," he said.

 

Ikorodu City FC head coach Ali Kandil remained optimistic about his team’s chances.

 

"We are not panicking over our inability to score. We will keep trying, and the goals will come.
"Once the goals start, we will build momentum from there," he said.

 

Ikorodu City FC will next face a South West derby against Shooting Stars SC of Ibadan.
