2025/2026 NPFL Matchday 14: Nasarawa United Reclaims Top Spot with 3–0 Win Over El-Kanemi Warriors

Posted : 25 November 2025

Nasarawa United returned to the top of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League table with a dominant 3–0 win over El-Kanemi Warriors at the Lafia City Stadium on Sunday evening. The Solid Miners, determined from the start, took the lead in the 38th minute when last season’s top goalscorer Anas Yusuf converted a penalty, sending the home side into halftime with a 1–0 advantage.

Just a minute after the second half began, Yusuf capitalized on a defensive lapse to score his second of the game, marking his sixth goal of the season for Nasarawa United. Teenage sensation Garba Mohammed then sealed the victory with a brilliant finish, his third goal of the campaign, as the hosts comfortably closed out a 3–0 win. The triumph moved Nasarawa United to 27 points from 14 games, three points clear of second-placed Ikorodu City FC, who have a game in hand.

Looking ahead, Nasarawa United will travel to face 8th-placed Warri Wolves in Ozoro, Delta State, next weekend. Coach Mangut Mbwas expressed satisfaction with the performance, saying, “I feel very excited. We planned to approach today’s game differently, and I am glad it paid off with multiple goals. I respect our opponents, who also created chances. Our next game will be taken as it comes against Warri Wolves with high hopes and expectations.”

El-Kanemi Warriors’ Technical Adviser Kabiru Dogo acknowledged his side’s shortcomings, stating, “It’s a tough game for us today. I congratulate Nasarawa United—they deserved the win. They punished three errors committed by one of our best players. The league is still a marathon, and we will make adjustments. The road trips are exhausting, but we will keep pushing.”
