Massive Turn Out Of Fans As Kano Pillars Shared Points With MFM

Agege stadium was filled to the brim even as the ticket for the covered sits were sold for one thousand naira during the Nigeria Professional Football League season hit match day 8.

NPFL debutants, MFM FC, who were beaten 1-0 by Heartland of Owerri over the weekend held Kano Pillars to a 1-1 draw as they remain second on the log after their eight game.

Stanley Okorom gave the home side the lead in the 28th minute

after his shot from outside the opponents eighting yard box was deflected into the net and threw the Baba Ganaru-led side into disarray.

The visitors resumed the second half of the game in search of a goal which they got in the 66th minute of the encounter, after Prince Aggreh was fouled in the right flank.

Aggreh was deployed in the outside left but he wasn't productive in the whole of the first 45 minutes, and the Masu Gida coach changed his tactics which eventually produced a goal.

MFM's Ifeanyi Ifeanyi hit the wood works twice in the game as James Aiyeyemi gave three fantastic saves to rescue a point for his side, while Rabiu Ali, who scored for the Kano side through penalty also mounted pressure on coach Fidelis Ilechukwu's men, but were not productive.

Kano Pillars have now dropped two spots to fifth position with one game at hand while Rangers and MFM both have 14 points from 8 games each on the NPFL log.
