Nasarawa United have returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) FC in the semi-final of the Nasarawa State Federation Cup. The match took place at the Lafia City Stadium on Friday and marked a significant turnaround for the Solid Miners, who had gone three games without a win in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
Following the match, Mbwas Mangut, the technical adviser for Nasarawa United, praised his team’s performance, noting their improved display against a well-organized FRSC FC side. “It was a hard-earned win against a very organized opponent,” Mangut remarked. He emphasized that his players displayed character, defended as a compact unit, and took their opportunities clinically, although he acknowledged that they should have scored more goals.
This victory sets up a final clash for Nasarawa United against the winner of the tie between Si14 FC and WAN Agara FC. The result serves as a morale boost for the Lafia-based team as they aim to finish their season on a high note. Recent struggles in the NPFL had raised concerns among fans and stakeholders, but their performance in the Federation Cup semi-final indicates a resurgence in form.
As they prepare for the final, the team’s ability to maintain defensive discipline and capitalize on key opportunities will be crucial. The Federation Cup victory also presents an opportunity for Nasarawa United to secure silverware and build momentum heading into the latter stages of the NPFL season. Mangut and his squad will be eager to carry this positive energy forward as they face their final opponents in the competition.
