.Katsina United to play today
Wikki Tourists and FOSLA Academy yesterday recorded their first wins of the ongoing Unity Cup Preseason Tournament after they overpowered Capital City FC and Mavlon FC respectively.
Kabiru Adeniji opened scores for Wikki Tourist in the 34th minute when he fired a shot after a good build up from the defence from Taye Muritala who was credited with the assist.
Head coach Kabiru Dogo’s charge for his boys to go in search of more goals paid off when Anas Yusuf scored the second goal in the 81st minutes through a clinical finish after sneaking through the defence of the Capital City before slotting the ball beyond the reach of the goalkeeper.
Three minutes later Anas came banging again and scored his second of the game and Wikki’s third.
