Bendel Insurance FC of Benin, Wednesday continued with their impressive performance as they secured a point against Kano Pillars in the Match Day 31 of the Nigeria Premier Football League(NPFL) after a goalless draw.
The Benin Arsenals remained resilient throughout the period of the midweek game at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.
Bendel went into the game with confidence having secured a 1-0 victory at home against Sunshine Stars last weekend and were well prepared to take their pound of flesh in Kano but the host maintained their resistance against Insurance resurgence.
Recall that the Benin Arsenals surrendered all three points to Kano Pillars in a 1-0 loss in their first round meeting at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin some weeks ago.
The Captain of Insurance FC, Meyiwa Oritseweyinmi, expressed the team’s confidence ahead of the match in Kano, saying that it was a payback time.
Insurance will be host to the defending champions, Rangers International of Enugu, in the Match Day 32 after their Federation Cup round of 32 clash with Adamawa Utd scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, 2025 in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
With the valuable away point at Kano Pillars the Benin Arsenals now have 45 points and are lifted to the 7th position on the league table.
