Kano Pillars delivered a dominant performance on Sunday, thrashing Doma United 4-1 in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 4 clash at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.
The victory marked Doma United’s first defeat of the season and extended Kano Pillars’ unbeaten run. The home side, nicknamed Sai Masu Gida, controlled large parts of the contest and clinically converted their chances.
Goals came from Abdullahi Musa, Rabiu Ali, Ahmed Musa, and substitute Nasiru Salihu. Doma United managed a consolation through Sadiq Rilwan in the second half.
Technical adviser Daniel Ogunmodede was pleased with the result and the manner of the win. Speaking to the club’s media after the match, he highlighted the importance of preparation:
“We expected a tough game because they have gone three matches unbeaten with nine points and never conceded but we prepared very well for them. Not playing last weekend gave us an ample opportunity to prepare more for them and no doubt, you could see they gave us a tough time.”

The four-time NPFL champions climbed to third place on the league table with the three points. The result also underlined Pillars’ strong start to the campaign and their ability to handle high-stakes home fixtures.
For Doma United, the loss ends an impressive early-season run that had seen them remain unbeaten and yet to concede prior to this match. They will look to bounce back quickly as the season progresses.
Kano Pillars will now turn their attention to the next fixture, aiming to maintain their momentum and continue challenging near the top of the table. Fans at the Sani Abacha Stadium were treated to an entertaining afternoon of football that showcased both attacking quality and resilience.
