Oladapo, Ikefe, Sane… TheCable’s NPFL team of the week

With MFM FC fighting back to beat Kano Pillars and Lobi Stars maintaining their title ambition, TheCable selects the team of the week in a 4-3-3 formation.

Chinedu Anozie – Plateau United

Anozie was brilliant for Plateau United as they drew against Dakkada at the Nest of Champions. He capped an individual display with a late penalty save.

Tope Olusesi – Rangers

The full back provided an outlet for Rangers to attack despite playing from the back. He put up a spectacular performance.

Andrew Ikefe – Plateau United

Plateau United’s general at the back protected his territory with a solid display.

Pape Ousmane Sane – Rangers

The veteran doesn’t slow down with age. Sane marshalled the Rangers back line with precision at Akwa United.

Adeyinka Najeem – MFM FC

The left footer often give joy. Najeem was a bundle of trouble for Kano Pillars as he attacked their barricade till he brought them down.

Anthony Omaka – Sunshine Stars

Omaka has made the team of the week on countless occasions. He deserves his place once again based on the eye-catching performance against FC Ifeanyi Ubah.

Tony Shimaga – Rangers

The gifted midfielder gave out a disciplined and cultured performance in the draw at the Nest of Champions on Sunday.

Austine Oladapo – Enyimba

Based on current form, Oladapo appears to be the best attacking midfielder in the NPFL. He scored a sumptuous free kick in the Abia Derby.

Kabir Balogun – MFM FC

Balogun’s effort was rewarded with the leveller in the win over Kano Pillars. He played the game with all his heart.

Clement Ogwu – MFM FC

Clement Ogwu was thrown into the fray as a substitute and he delivered the goods with a brace.

Joseph Atule – Katsina United

Breathtaking performance, a goal and man of the match award. Atule was the tormentor in chief for Katsina United against Warri Wolves.
