Kwara United held a second half challenge from El-Kanemi Warriors to win 2-1 in a Nigeria Professional Football League match on Sunday in Ilorin.

The home crowd urged on their darling team after they recorded an impressive week one draw at Dolphins.

Ahmed Jimoh was not clinical with his 6th minute header which was off target as Kwara United searched for an early advantage.

Kwara United dominated the match with their slick pattern and one-touch football.

Their young playmaker Adeshina Issa Gata ran things for them and he created the assist that resulted in the first goal after 22 minutes.

Evans Iyoro sent-in a left-footed drive as he latched-on to a brilliant cross from the young maestro.

The three-man attack of Kwara United pressurised the Borno Army for more goals and stuck to their pattern.

Four minutes before the break, Flying Eagles invitee Segun Alebiousu finished a sweet team move past George Michael in goal for Elkanemi Warriors.

A beautiful strike from Ibrahim Mustapha in the 59th minute made the hosts play under pressure in the final 31 minutes of play.

The lively Alebiosu was denied from grabbing a brace by George fifteen from time.

Despite a late rally from Elkanemi Warriors, Kwara United held on to win 2-1 and have 4 point from two matches.
