2025/2026 NPFL Match Day 29: Nasarawa United's Amadi Late Strike Secures Dramatic Win Against Ikorodu City

Posted : 09 March 2026

In an action-packed Matchday 29 tie of the ongoing 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) campaign, Nasarawa United defied the odds with a late free-kick, securing a 1-0 victory over stubborn Ikorodu City FC of Lagos at the Lafia City Stadium on Sunday evening and returning the team to winning ways.

Defensive midfielder Bright Amadi’s 83rd-minute free-kick capped an electrifying comeback, silencing critics and igniting celebrations among the home fans.

With the maximum points garnered, the win moves Nasarawa United to 3rd position with 47 points, five behind table-topping Rivers United and three behind 2nd-place Enugu Rangers, revitalizing the Solid Miners’ campaign and injecting momentum into their title chase with nine matches remaining.

Nasarawa United will travel to Ikenne, Ogun State, for their next game against bottom-placed Remo Stars FC, who lost 4-1 on the road to Rangers in Enugu. The match is scheduled for Sunday, 15th March 2026, at the Remo Stars Stadium, starting at 4 pm.

Coach Mbwas Mangut said: "Before now, we were very much aware of how difficult this game would be, knowing that Ikorodu City are also a team in contention for the league title. We gave them a lot of respect in the first half, sitting back with no chance created. We decided to effect some changes in the second half, and you saw that those changes made the difference for us.

In all, we are grateful to God for the victory, regardless of the scoreline. With nine matches to end the current league season, we will continue to improve on our scoring and defending abilities to finish strong on the table."
