Kano Pillars And Dolphins Share Spoils In Thriller
Kano Pillars threw away a two goal lead to draw 2-2 with Dolphins in a League match on Sunday evening.<br /><br />Pillars
goals were scored by Adamu Mohammed and Godspower Anefiok while
Godbless Asamoah and Jonathan Zikiye were on song for Dolphins.<br /><br />The reigning league champions were eleven minutes away from winning 2-1 but conceded a 79th minute equaliser.<br /><br />Action was fast and furious almost throughout and the players deserve great credit for producing a top class NPFL clash.<br /><br />The home team started like a house on fire and blazed their way to a two-goal lead in the 18th and 47th minute respectively.<br /><br />Adamu
got Pillars started, scoring the opening goal in the 18th minute. The
attacker latched onto a rebound after Rabiu Ali’ s free kick was spilled
to the path of the former Gombe United man by goalkeeper Godwin
Anyalogu.<br /><br />The visitors’ defence seemed to have gone Awol again in
the 47th minute when Anefiok showed fine composure to beat Anyalogu
with a low perfect strike and put Pillars 2-0 up.<br /><br />Dolphins pulled
a goal back very much against the run of play in the 67th minute.
Asamoah fired into the bottom corner of the net.<br /><br />The visitors’
finally created a chance on 79 minutes when Zikiye was handed a shooting
chance from the edge of the box and delivered a good strike into the
back of the net to make it 2-2.<br /><br />The late goal was heartbreaking
for Pillars’ players and fans, but the Pride of Rivers probably deserved
a share of the spoils on the balance of play.
