NPFL: ABS tame in-form MFM FC in Ilorin

Date: 2017-02-10

Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries Football Club suffered their first defeat in four Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) games on Thursday evening against Abubakar Bukola Saraki FC courtesy of Samuel Oyedeji's 75th minute well converted spot kick.

The two teams began the encounter on a remarkable note with MFM FC right-back Stanley Okorom forcing ABS FC goalkeeper Boje Abdullahi to a great save when he tried a shot in the 8th minute of the exchange.

Mohammed Mohammed of ABS FC tested MFM FC goalkeeper Ospino Egbe in the 15th minute of the game with an audacious shot but he pulled off a fine save to deny the hosts their goal opportunity.

MFM FC teenage striker Adebayo Waheed tried a shot from outside the box in the 34th minute of the lively match but the hosts defended it so well.

Both teams gave good account of themselves creating several chances but they failed to make their efforts count in front of goal. The first half ended goalless for the two sides.

ABS FC began the second half of the entertaining match pressurising MFM FC defence stringing passes but the visitors' defenders stood tall and kept the scoreline intact. Ernest Governor of ABS saw his 55th minute shot go off target.

The Saraki Boys were awarded a penalty kick in the 74th minute of the match when Anaekwe was adjudged to have been fouled in the visitors' box and the referee pointed to the spot for a penalty. Samuel Oyedeji converted the spot kick.

MFM FC coach Fidelis Ilechukwu then brought on Agbane Candy and NPFL top scorer Stephen Odey for Kenedinum Nelson and Adebayo Waheed respectively.

The two attackers made their impact felt as they troubled the hosts defence but the resolute Saraki Boys defended their one goal lead. The game ended with the Ilorin-based club claiming their fourth home win.

Despite the slim defeat, MFM FC still sit in second position on the log with 13 points from seven NPFL matches.
