NPFL Title Race: Plateau Utd lose again as Rivers Utd go seven points clear

Rivers United are now holding a seven-point lead at the top of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after results from matchday 26, IgbereTV reports

Rivers United opened up a seven-point gap after thrashing MFM 5-0 in Port Harcourt on Sunday while second-placed Plateau United failed to win at Nasarawa.

Nelson Esor, Chijoke Akuneto (brace), George Akpabio and Ishaq Rafiu were the goalscorers for Rivers in a game that was halted for about 28 minutes due to the waterlogged pitch.

Plateau United suffered a setback in their title bid after losing 2-1 to Nasarawa United in Lafia.

The hosts went in front through Sunday Okereke on four minutes, while Chimezie Izuchukwu equalised for Plateau United two minutes before the break.

But Nasarawa United grabbed the winner through Chinedu Ohanachom on 55 minutes to drag low the title hopes of their opponents
