“We showed character and resilience to secure this first win of the season.

“The energy was electric as every member of the team contributed to this win, and we can’t wait to build on this momentum,” he said.

With this victory, Nasarawa United moved into the top 10 of the league standings, accumulating five points, while Ikorodu City remains at the bottom with just one point from four matches.

Nasarawa’s next challenge will be against Bayelsa United on Sunday, October 6, 2024, at the Lafia City Stadium.
