God’stime Strikes Early as Sokoto United Edge Gombe United in Crucial NNL Clash

It was a thrilling afternoon at the Giginya Memorial Stadium in Sokoto as Sokoto United FC grabbed a vital 1-0 victory over visiting Gombe United FC in an intense Nigeria National League (NNL) Matchday 12 showdown.

The hosts wasted no time making their intentions clear, taking the lead just six minutes into the game. A corner kick sparked the action, with Gombe United’s defense clearing the initial danger but only as far as Gideon Daniel, who set up God’stime Oshoke perfectly. Without hesitation, Oshoke unleashed a stunning strike from outside the 18-yard box that sent the home crowd into a frenzy!

Gombe United responded with determination, throwing everything forward in search of an equalizer. But Sokoto United’s defense was rock solid, refusing to give an inch. Meanwhile, Sokoto kept pressing for a second goal, testing the Gombe goalkeeper several times but he stood tall to deny them.

At the final whistle, it was Sokoto United who celebrated a hard-earned 1-0 win, a result that could prove crucial in their season.

After the match, head coach Peter Ajeni credited the win to the team’s grit and focus.

“I want to thank Almighty God for this important win,” Ajeni said with pride. “This was a must-win for us to stay clear of the relegation zone, and the boys delivered. Now we’re back in third place and keeping our Super 8 hopes alive that’s our ticket to the Nigeria Premier League!”

But it’s not over yet. Sokoto United’s final league match against Jigawa FC and the result of Barau FC’s upcoming clash with Jigawa Golden Stars on May 18 will determine whether the team makes it to the coveted Super 8.

The dream is alive and Sokoto is not backing down.
