Barau FC turned Sani Abacha Stadium into a fortress Friday, roaring back from an early Rivers United goal to thrash the visitors 4-1 in a rescheduled Matchday 5 NPFL clash—Usman Maidubji’s penalty equalizer, Jimmy Ambrose’s halftime dagger, and ex-Rivers star Kabir Abdullahi’s brace sealing Kano’s biggest win and Rivers’ worst loss this season.
Climbing to 16th with 20 points from 17 games, Barau escaped relegation danger thanks to Muhammad Umar’s SWAN Man of the Match magic; coach Ladan Bosso saluted his fighters’ grit and management’s backing, eyeing continental dreams ahead of Nasarawa United and Niger Tornadoes road tests.
This home finale fireworks caps Barau’s first-stanza surge, proving resilience flips deficits into dominance in Nigeria’s brutal top flight.
