Lafia: Nasarawa United cruised to a commanding 3–0 victory over El‑Kanemi Warriors in their NPFL Matchday 14 clash in Lafia.
The match at the Lafia Township Stadium on Sunday reflected the hosts’ growing confidence as they seized complete control early.
Anas Yusuf struck twice for the Solid Miners, scoring in the 38th and 46th minutes to energise the home crowd.
Garba Mohammed added a third in the 48th minute, sealing the result and securing all available points for the Lafia side.
The win marked a notable turnaround for a team that had recently slipped down the league table.
Nasarawa United returned to the top of the NPFL standings with 27 points, while Elkanemi sits 12th with 18 points.
Technical Adviser Mbwas Mangut praised his players, saying their improved ball circulation made a clear difference throughout the contest.
“We tried something different today and it worked,” Mangut said, expressing delight at securing maximum points from the encounter.
He added that the team would approach each match with seriousness and discipline to protect their position on the table.
Elkanemi’s Technical Adviser, Kabiru Dogo, described the outing as one of their poorest performances of the season.
Dogo said football occasionally delivers results like this, stressing that the league remains a marathon, not a sprint.
He said his side would push harder in upcoming matches to remain competitive until the final week of the campaign.
