Matchweek 12 of the Nigeria Premier Football League delivered a mix of excitement and tension on Sunday, November 9, as fans witnessed dramatic encounters across several match centers.
Wikki Tourists edged Niger Tornadoes 1–0 in Bauchi, securing three crucial points in front of their home crowd. The hard fought victory came through a second half strike that kept the visitors pinned back for most of the game.
Pillars were left frustrated after being held to a goalless draw by Bayelsa United. Despite dominating possession and creating clear chances, the hosts couldn’t find the cutting edge needed to break the deadlock.
At the Cathedral in Enugu, Rangers International continued their impressive run with a narrow 1–0 win over Shooting Stars. The hosts displayed solid discipline, combining flair with resilience to claim another home victory.
Elsewhere, Abia Warriors and Enyimba battled to a cagey 0–0 draw, with neither side able to produce the decisive moment in a tense Abia derby.
In Lafia, Nasarawa United and Kwara United shared the spoils in a 1–1 draw that kept both teams rooted in mid table, while Ikorodu City stunned Warri Wolves 2–0 away from home, one of the standout results of the weekend.
The action continues on Monday, November 10, with three fixtures wrapping up the matchweek:
Remo Stars host El Kanemi Warriors at 4 PM,
