Akwa United’s dream of lifting the Nigeria Professional Football League title for the first time in their 24 year-old history is fast becoming a reality following their resounding 3-0 victory over struggling Warri Wolves on match-day 34 of the season at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Wednesday.

Two goals by talisman and former Warri Wolves striker Charles Atshimene in both halves and Ubong Friday’s spectacular strike, sealed a comprehensive victory for the Promise Keepers and helped them open a six-point gap at the summit of the log with four matches left to play before the end of the season.

Akwa United almost doubled their lead in the 24th minute but Samuel Amadi failed to direct his effort at goal after being put through by Nwani.

Two minutes later, Amadi redeemed himself with a brilliant display, he managed to stay on his feet and cut through a crowded Wolves defence before putting it in a plate for the captain Ubong Friday, who curled home a delightful ball to increase
