'Suya served' - 75-year old stars, Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Ali steal show in 7-goal thriller as Pillars roast Antelopes

Super Eagles legend Ahmed Musa was involved in three of the goals for Kano Pillars in the one-sided affair against Nigerian champions Rangers.

In a thrilling encounter at the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium, Super Eagles legend Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Ali were heavily involved as Kano Pillars emerged victorious in a seven-goal spectacle against the Nigerian champions Rangers.

The league is becoming exciting
Imagine the number of ex Star coaches

Finidi
Amunike
Omokachi

Etc

I won't lie the quality of the coaching looks improved a bit especially with Amuneke leading an exciting resurgence at Heartland. I think it's a plus for the league having a coach of Amuneke's tactical caliber.

Ogunmodede wasn't even on the touchline to face Finidi as he is on NT duty.

Fidelis Ilechukwu too was absent for Rangers on the touchline but his crew did the job with a 3-2 win over Bendel Insurance.

Amokachi at Lobi Stars is yet to yield positivity but there is still time.

Hopefully omokachi will blend

Just the way Amunike started on a shaky note

I think Remo Stars missing their head Coach may have slightly contributed to the result. Nevertheless Remo stay top.

Finidi and Rivers will be happy with the away point.

Kano Pillars really escaped defeat to Amuneke's charges from Owerri. Heartland seems rejuvenated. Currently on an impressive 4 games Unbeaten run. I say impressive because in that run, they have beaten League leaders Remo Stars, defeated Abia Warriors away from home, pipped Sunshine and now drawn Pillars away in Kano.
