Following a weekend of superb goals and
thrillers in the Nigeria Professional
Football League, SL10 reporter Ademetan
Abayomi picks the match day seven best
XI.
Ikechukwu Ezenwa [Sunshine Stars]
The former Heartland goalie pulled off
magnificent saves in a familiar terrain. He
kept the Akure Gunners in the game with
his bravery.
Chibuzor Okonkwo [Gabros FC]
Always alert and precise in his tackles
while also causing trouble up front and
exposed the usually disciplined Enyimba FC
backline. And he capped a brilliant
performance with a late penalty strike.
Jonathan Zikiye [Dolphins FC]
The defender was an absolute dynamite
and in total control throughout, displaying
some excellent positioning and making
dynamic interceptions. Never gave a
centimetre and he simply denied the Lobi
Stars forwards any space. He scored the
first goal for his side.
Samuel Olabisi [FC Taraba]
Held a determined Sharks at bay when
they pressed hard, making eight crucial
clearances and although he had the least
touches, he made most of them count.
Never backed away and a real reference
point for the whole defence.
Ebenezer Odunlami [Sunshine Stars]
Ebenezer's ball winning qualities showed
once again as Sunshine brushed aside
Heartland in Owerri. He was brilliant and
uncompromising at the back.
Usman Mohammed [FC Taraba]
An impressive performance by the Dream
Team ace who switched roles at will. Was
always impressive and seemed to engage
another gear when he moved into a more
offensive role, marrying work-rate with
undoubted skill.
Uche Martins [Wikki Tourists]
Showed he meant business with an
amazing goal. Continued to be at the heart
of Wikki’s attacks. He was a livewire for
the hosts.
Tunde Adeniji [Sunshine Stars]
Totally in control and his every ball and
run was as potent as an effective Frank
Lampard. Worked tirelessly and screamed
home two fabulous goals.
Charles Henlong [Giwa FC]
He probed like an aggressive Brazilian
Wandering Spider. His venomous skills
saw him traumatise Bayelsa United.
Mubarak Umar [Wikki Tourists]
Got two well-deserved goals as his
determination offered him success. Not
overawed by Rangers big defenders, the
forward eagerly and consistently found
form on Sunday.
Ugochukwu Leonard [Nasarawa United]
Leonard was at his scoring best and
showed his authority upfront. Never
allowed the visitors a moment’s rest and
his precise finishing was a joy to behold.

The list is not by LMC but by SL10.ng.


Chibuzor Okonkwo of Gabros is making the team of week for the 3rd time this season. The dude deserve Super Eagles call up for the astonishing performance.


Usman Muhammed is already with the U23 Dream team.
