Akwa United's Abdul Maikaba ended Plateau United's unbeaten run

The Pick
Akwa United vs Plateau United
The game between Akwa United and Plateau United was a delight.
It was a match characterized with free flowing football and some decent goals to add to it.
Abdul Maikaba’s lads altered the score line as early as the sixth minute with the goal coming from Christian Pyagbara, who got an assist from Moses Ebiye and ran over John Ga’adi to coolly put the ball at the back of the net.
Five minutes after the break the lead was doubled.
Ibrahim Alhassan gave the Uyo based side an assurance of quitting the last spot on the log.
A consolatory goal came for Plateau United in the 60th minute of the encounter as substitute Chima Ndukwu registered one.
This victory serves like a cushion effect for Maikaba who have been on the edge of his job if the result went otherwise.
For Plateau United, they still maintain top spot, while Maikaba’s united are up to the 14th position with 9 points.
