On Monday, Rivers United moved back to the top in the Nigeria Premier Football League, known as the NPFL. They did this by winning a game 1-0 against a team called Niger Tornadoes.
In this exciting match, Seiyefa Jackson was the hero. He scored the only goal for Rivers United just four minutes after the half-time break. This means when players came back to the field after resting, Seiyefa kicked the ball into the net, and everyone cheered because their team was in the lead!
However, not everything went smoothly. In the last moments of the game, a player from Rivers United named Emmanuel Nnaji got a red card, meaning he had to leave the field, and his team played with just 10 players instead of 11. But they still won the game!
The team from Port Harcourt, Rivers United, is doing really well this season. They haven’t lost any of their seven matches. Can you imagine winning every time you play? That’s like always getting the best ice cream flavor whenever you want!
In another match at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan, there was a game between Shooting Stars and Katsina United. This one was very close too, with Shooting Stars winning by just one goal. Adam Mustapha was the player who scored this important goal in the 68th minute. That’s like being the fastest runner in a race and reaching the finish line first!
Meanwhile, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, there was a match between Akwa United and Rangers. This game was different because no one scored any goals. It ended in a 0-0 draw, like when nobody wins in a tug of war, and it’s all about having fun.
