Kano Pillars Football Club on Saturday defeated visiting Katsina United 1-0 in the Match Day 2 of the Nigeria Premier League.
They shrugged off their last week away loss to Sunshine of Akure to occupy the driver’s seat in the 27th minute of the game.
That was when Mustafa Ibrahim found the opponent’s net in front of their home crowd at the Sani Abacha Stadium.
Though the visiting Katsina side upped their game and tried to pull an equaliser, their forays were foiled by the back line of the home side.
Speaking during a post match interview, Coach Abdu Maikaba of Kano Pillars commended his players, whom he said played to instruction.
Maikaba described the outcome of the match as rewarding after losing their away game 1-0.
