Nasarawa United have returned to winning ways after securing a 2-0 victory over Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) FC in the semi-final of the Nasarawa State Federation Cup. The match, held at the Lafia City Stadium on Friday, marked a positive turnaround for the Solid Miners, who had gone three games without a win in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
Mbwas Mangut, the technical adviser for Nasarawa United, praised his team’s performance, highlighting their improved display against a well-organized FRSC FC side. “It was a hard-earned win against a very organized opponent,” Mangut said after the game. “My boys displayed character, defended as a compact unit, and took their moments clinically, even though we should have scored more.”
The victory sets up a final clash for Nasarawa United against the winner of the tie between Si14 FC and WAN Agara FC. The result is a morale boost for the Lafia-based side as they aim to end their season on a high note.
Nasarawa United’s recent struggles in the NPFL had raised concerns among fans and stakeholders, but their performance in the Federation Cup semi-final suggests a resurgence in form. The team’s ability to maintain defensive discipline and capitalize on key opportunities will be crucial as they prepare for the final.
The Federation Cup victory also provides 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 keen to carry this positive energy forward as they face their final opponents in the competition.
