NPFL 2024/25: Matchday 4 Recap - Ikorodu City vs. Nasarawa United

In a thrilling encounter at the Mobolaji Johnson stadium in Lagos, Ikorodu City fell to Nasarawa United with a final score of 1-2, marking another disappointing home defeat for the hosts. Despite a valiant effort, Ikorodu City could not secure their first victory of the season, leaving them struggling at the bottom of the league table.

The match began with an intense pace, but it was Nasarawa United who struck first. Anas Yusuf found the back of the net in the 45th minute, giving his team a crucial lead just before halftime. Ikorodu City responded just before the break when ThankGod Chilaka equalized with a well-placed shot in stoppage time, sending the teams into the locker rooms at 1-1.

However, the second half saw Kabiru Balogun regain the lead for Nasarawa United in the 66th minute. Despite several attempts from Ikorodu City to level the score, they were unable to convert their chances, resulting in their second consecutive home defeat.

This match continues a worrying trend for Ikorodu City, who remain winless in the league, while Nasarawa United celebrates their hard-fought victory, adding valuable points to their campaign. As the season progresses, both teams will need to address their weaknesses to improve their standings in the highly competitive NPFL.
