After four unsuccessful outings in the 2023–24 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), Ezekiel Tamara is indeed very relieved to see his club side – Kwara United, record their first victory of the season.

On matchday five of the Nigeria Professional Football League, Tamara and his teammates crushed Akwa United 2-1 at the Lekan Salami Stadium on Wednesday.

Wasiu Alalade fired the hosts ahead barely 15 minutes into the game before Cyril Olisemah pulled his visiting Akwa United side back into contest in 69th minute.

And just four minutes before stoppage time, Muritala Oriyomi Lawal banged in another goal to secure the victory and all three points for Kwara United, who were on the verge of recording their third draw of the season.
