Maiduguri Desert Warriors Still Invincible At Home



Ladan Bosso.

Ladan Bosso's El-Kanemi Warriors have recorded their second successive home win in the Nigeria Professional Football League, beating visiting Ikorodu United of Lagos,1-0 at the Desert Warriors Stadium in Maiduguri,North Eastern Nigeria.
Ibrahim Mustapha scored from the penalty spot after Ikorodu defenders faulted in checkmating the rampaging upfront forays by the Warriors attackers.

In the Warriors first game after been directed back to play at their home ground by the League Management Company (LMC) ,they recorded a two nil victory against Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan,3SC.

The Warriors would have ended the tie 3-0 if not for two missed penalty chances awarded by referee Amadin from Edo State, South West Nigeria.

The victory now takes the Warriors to 11 position on the log at 16 points from 13 matches,and coach Sam Okpodu's Ikorodu United still languish at the log bottom with only 6 points to show for all of 13 matches so far.
