Alhaji Alkasim Backs Kano Pillars’ NPFL Survival Fight
Before the game, he had pledged ₦1.5 million for a win, but the spirited performance earned the team a ₦1 million reward.
This comes just after he gifted the team ₦1.2 million following their 1-0 victory over Remo Stars on Matchday 25 to boost morale.
The Sai Masu Gida displayed strong character, bouncing back after conceding early in the sixth minute.
Luis Dadong’s calm finish in the 79th minute secured the equaliser and a crucial point for the Pride of Kano, helping to keep their survival hopes alive in the NPFL.
Focus Shifts to El Kanemi Clash
Pillars have recorded nine wins, five draws, and 12 losses from 26 matches, leaving them in 17th place with 29 points.
The team now turns its attention to Matchday 27, where they will host El Kanemi Warriors FC, aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to three games and climb further away from the relegation zone.
