It was another soccer fiesta on Thursday at the Jos Center of the ongoing 2025 NLO Division One League as teams battle it out for the sole playoff slot from the center.
In the first match of the day, Vom Vet Rovers fc remain unbeaten as they overcame erstwhile log leaders, Plateau Jets Sports Club, beating them 1-0 to take them to 3rd position, one point behind the Plateau Jets they beat from only 5 matches, while Plateau Jets have played 7 matches.
Shamsudeen Usman got the only goal of this interesting match.
In the second match, goals poacher, Tochukwu Ibedu can’t just stop scoring as he netted another brace against a red hot Plateau NLO Pre-season Tournament Champions, Maichibi FC.
Tochukwu Ibedu got his second brace and his 8th goal in 6 matches in the 17th and 83rd minutes, as the unbeaten Mighty Jets International Feeders FC won 2-1. Hassan Hassan got the consolatory goal for Maichibi FC.
With this win, Mighty Jets Feeders sit at the top of the table with 16 points from 6 matches.
It was a celebration galore in the camp of bottom placed Global Peace FC as they got their first and only point thus far, holding Mafeng FC to a 1-1 draw.
Cyracus Ubah got the goal for Global Peace FC as Nonso Nnamdi equalized for Mafeng FC in the 85th minute.
The best can be said to have been saved for the last, as the end to end encounter between youthful AC Midlands FA and Jos Dream Big FC ends in a 5 goals thriller.
Jos Dream Big FC opened the goals floodgates in the 6th minute as Nansel Joseph scored a goal that will make the likes of Lamine Yamal and Bukayo Saka green with envy as he beautifully curled the ball from the far left to beat the AC Midlands FA goalkeeper hollow!
Donaldson Hananiya equalized for AC Midlands in the 15th minute. Paul Lanko increased the tally for AC Midlands to make it 2-1 in the 17th minute. Marcus Wakai made it 3 in the 30th minute, before Ibrahim Isah reduced the tally for Jos Dream Big in the 91st minute to end the very interesting encounter, AC Midlands FA 3 Jos Dream Big FC 2.
