A great feat congratulations to the lads

It was because the match was played at a neutral venue. That's why we could get a fair result.

Politicians will not allow......they use it to score cheap political points

That's why they will not hands off anytime soon from football

My cousin is a player at bayelsa united. Very good kid. But I wonder why Nigeria league matches always end in the home team winning or drawing. Rarely would you see away team taking a point.

Bayelsa United and Bayelsa Queen... Nice one from the state

From all of us @[b][/b] : CONGRATULATIONS Bayelsa United.

Congrat to them, they should represent us well at African level

So excited for my state team, at least we use this one hold body. In times past, Bayelsa used to have 2 teams in the premier division until Seriake istration spoiled every single sector of the economy in the State. I wish this is a stepping stone to greater things, and hopefully seeing Bayelsa united in the NPFL soon.

Played in Benin

Dreadful pitch (maybe due to the downpour)

Dreadful officiating (from the linesman only , the lady In the middle -main ref- really impressed me) The two goals from nassarawa United were offside -though both were expertly taken goals-

The NASSARAWA United coach abi bayelsa (the one on coat not suit but coat) was so shabbily dressed If I saw him outside I’d dash hi 200 Naira to hold body.

In all an exciting game devoid of tactical discipline from either side.

Until a real well organized , privately run soccer team is established in Lagos forget story of our league developing.

If Enyimba couldn’t cause a change in how Other Nigerian clubs are run then forget it
