Obot, Efala, Ndah… TheCable’s NPFL team of the week

Many Nigerian players were in action for their respective clubs over the weekend – some impressed, others flopped, and many were lost in the activities.

TheCable has decided to stick with the usual 4-1-2-3 system, with Akwa United’s Kennedy Boboye at the dugout.

Jean Efala – Akwa United

The Promise Keepers picked up a point on the road, thanks to the heroics of their Cameroonian import.

Imo Obot – Dakkada

Imo Obot tormented the Wikki Tourists back line with his dangerous runs. One of his forays resulted in an assist from Femi Ajayi for the leveller.
