While Leicester City continues to surprise football fans every week, we may be in for our own surprise in our domestic league as the newly promoted football club owned by the Mountain of Fire and Miracles church, MFM FC this weekend reclaimed top spot in the Nigeria league after they won 3-1 against El Kanemi and closest rivals Enugu Rangers and Kano Pillars could only manage draws on their travels.
MFM now have 13 points, while Rangers, who were forced to a 2-2 draw by hosts Abia Warriors, and Pillars, who also drew 2-2 at Lobi Stars, are on 11 points each.
Julius Emiloju and Emmanuel Onuwa made sure debutants MFM secured maximum three points after Japhet Daniel scored a consolation goal for El Kanemi Warriors. MFM were dominant in the game and deserved the victory.
Rangers Bobby Clement broke the deadlock at Abia Warriors in the 22nd minute. Michael Ulocha equalised for the hosts in the 39th minute from the penalty spot after Effiong Ndifreke was fouled inside the box. Rangers lead was then restored by Chisom Egbuchulam, who powered home a free kick to give the visitors a 2-1 lead. Wydad Casablanca-bound Chisom Chikatara drew level for the hosts in the 65th minute.
