Nasarawa United outclassed visiting FC Ifeanyi Ubah at the Lafia City Stadium as the NPFL entered matchday 12.

The Solid Miners put the disappointing 1-0 defeat against Jigawa Golden Stars last Sunday behind to put three unreplied goals past poor FC Ifeanyi Ubah on Wednesday.

Midfielder Ikenna Ofor gave the Bala Nikyu’s side a perfect start to the match as he volleyed home the opener after 10 minutes.

Adamu Hassan thought he had scored for the hosts in the 25th but his effort was disallowed by the linesman who raised his flag for an offside.

Nasarawa United, went into the halftime break with a slender advantage but it should have been more had they taken all their chances.

Adamu Hassan, who was the architect of the first goal, scored the second for the hosts in the 58th minute with a fine finish after he was played through on goal by returning left full-back, Reuben Nicodemus.

The visitors had their first attempt minutes later as Ekene Awazie found his way inside the box, but for the brilliance of goalkeeper, Danlami Umar.

Hassan grabbed his second of the game with a ferocious strike following a knockdown from substitute, Anas Yusuf.

Nasarawa United kept possession and the three points to move up to 4th position on the league table.
