Insurance hold Pillars to goalless draw in Kano

Bendel Insurance FC of Benin played a goalless draw away to Kano Pillars on matchday 31 of the Nigeria Premier Football League.

It was a precious point for the Benin Arsenal who repelled everything thrown at them while also creating a few chances of their own in the game played at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.

It was a grudge game for the visitors who had lost 1-0 at home in the reverse fixture at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin.

Despite playing away, Insurance were full of confidence apparently from a 1-0 victory at home against Sunshine Stars last weekend. Insurance were prepared to take their pound of flesh in Kano but the host gave insurance no breathing space in the games.

Insurance’s Meyiwa Oritseweyinmi expressed delight in the hard-earned draw, noting that players remained committed till the end of the season.

Insurance will host the defending champions, Rangers International of Enugu in the match day 32. The valuable away point at Kano Pillars has lifted the Benin Arsenals to 45 points and 7th on the log.
