Tornadoes extend unbeaten run in Barau draw

The Nigeria Premier Football League witnessed a goalless draw between Barau FC and the Niger Tornadoes on Friday at the Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna, extending the Tornadoes' unbeaten streak to five matches. According to PUNCH Sports Extra, this marks the Tornadoes' third win and second draw in their last five league games. In contrast, Barau extended their unbeaten run to four matches.

Despite both teams failing to create clear scoring chances, the match remained closely contested. Following the result, Barau climbed to fourth place in the league table, while the Tornadoes rose to fifth. For their upcoming fixture, the Tornadoes will host Bendel Insurance away, while Barau will play at home against Shooting Stars.

Before this encounter, the Tornadoes benefited from the return of three players from injury - Joseph Godfrey, Erickson Mendos, and Moses Obioma, providing the coaching staff with additional options. However, Nafiu Obalowu remained sidelined due to an injury suffered during their previous league match against Abia Warriors. All rights reserved.
