A 40th minute goal by Abia Warriors hitman, Sunday Megwo, was all the team needed to defeat Bendel Insurance 1-0 and get their first away win in the ongoing Nigeria Premier Football League season.
It was a superlative display from the Warriors to ensure a well deserved victory and condemn the Benin Arsenals to their first home loss this campaign.
Abia Warriors gaffer, Imama Amapakabo made only one change to the side that defeated Plateau United 3-1 in Umuahia, with Wilson Elu taking the place of Emmanuel Ogbuagu who couldn’t make the trip owing to illness.
The game commenced on a cagey affair as both sides cancelled out each other. There was no margin for error as the encounter was highly tactical.
The first half ended 0-1 in favour of the visitors, and the second period started with the home side pushing for a goal.
Despite wholesale substitutions from both sides, there were no further goals scored as Warriors held on to beat Bendel Insurance for the first time in three outings.
