Niger Tornadoes Gain Promotion To Nigeria Professional Football League by Nobody: 6:45am On Aug 31, 2015 |
The Minna based team have returned to the
elite division after three years in the second
tier following home victory on Saturday
Niger Tornadoes have secured a promotion
ticket from the Nigeria National League
division A to play in Nigeria Professional
Football League next season.
Tornadoes secured their topflight return with
a league game to spear follow a 2-0 home
win over Mighty Jets at the Bako Kontogora
Stadium on Saturday - beating Gombe United,
ABS and Mighty Jets to the top spot in a
seven-team race.
In 2012, the Minna-based outfit were
relegated from the country's elite division
after a final day 1-0 loss to then NPFL
campaigners Rising Stars. However, goals
from Yakubu Alfa and Samson Adeyemi on
Sunday stamped the Coach Abdullahi biffo's
men topflight return after three years.
Tornadoes snatched their priceless lead in
the ninth minute through Alfa and fortunately
seal the victory with Adeyemi calmly netting
from the spot inside injury time. |
