After recording impressive home victory against El Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri on Sunday, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Football Club will attempt to consolidate on the temporary leadership position of the Nigeria Professional Football League in far away Uyo against Akwa United Football Club.
It is a battle between father and son, as Paul Bassey’s Akwa United host MFM’s Godwin Enakhena. Both veteran journalists turned football administrators should know how to settle the scores inside the beautiful ultra-modern Akwa-Ibom International stadium.
The Olukoya Boys on Sunday moved to the summit after defeating the Desert Warriors, but MFM’s Sikiru Olatunbosun urged his teammates not to rest on their laurels after they moved top of the table.
The forward was on target in his side’s 3-0 victory – a result that moved the Olukoya Boys one point ahead of Plateau United at the summit of the topflight log. Olatunbosun charged Fidelis Ilechukwu’s men to continue to work hard.
“[Sunday] was a great day. The goal I scored made my day. We must keep going. It’s good, but we must continue to work hard,” Olatunbosun said.
“Our major target is trying to keep the focus and earn more points,” he said.
Meanwhile, Plateau United fans are eagerly awaiting the day their rescheduled match against Rangers will be played. The match will determine the leadership stand of the NPFL.
