Historic First Point for Ikorodu City FC: Newcomers Hold Kwara United to a Stalemate in Ilorin



Ikorodu City FC secured their first-ever point in the NPFL with a hard-fought goalless draw against Kwara United in Ilorin on Sunday evening. As a newcomer to the league, earning a point away from home is a significant achievement, given the challenges that typically come with playing on the road in the NPFL. The result is a major morale booster for the newly promoted side.

Their journey in the NPFL began with a tough 3-0 defeat away to Kano Pillars, a harsh introduction to the top division. However, Ikorodu City showed resilience in their next match, improving their performance and standing firm against Kwara United to grind out a valuable away draw. The team’s defensive organization played a key role in keeping Kwara United from finding the back of the net.

Earning an away point in the NPFL is no small feat, especially for a debutant club like Ikorodu City. This result gives the team confidence moving forward and signals their potential to compete with more established sides in the league. Ikorodu City will now look to build on this momentum as they continue to adapt to life in Nigeria’s top football division.
