Title sponsor of Glo Premier League, Gobacom has commended league strikers for their consistency in goal-scoring in the current season so far.
“We are delighted with the number of goals scored by the strikers as it has emphasized our belief that the league has improved in terms of quality,” it said.
Week 13 matches recorded 20 goals, while 22 goals were scored in week 14 in ten match centres, indicating the determination of Glo Premier League strikers to continuously increase the goal tally as the competition gathers momentum.
“This development, we believe, highlights excellent officiating and fair play by all concerned and we wish to particularly applaud the League Management Company for this great turnaround in the league,” Globacom said.
Globacom also expressed delight at the performances of teams on away grounds which have resulted in defeats and draws for home teams which hitherto took victories for granted.
The telecoms company also commended the league coaches and technical advisers for bringing the best out of the marksmen.
Meanwhile, Wikki United of Bauchi has shot to the top of the Glo Premier League table with 27 points.
The team amassed 6 points back to back by defeating Sharks of Port Harcourt in week 13 at home and recorded an away victory against Ifeanyi Ubah FC in week 14.
Sunshine FC of Akure with 26 points moved to the second position while Enyimba of Aba also with 26 points but with fewer goals occupies the third position on the log.
Perennial league leaders, Enyimba and Kano Pillars have not found it easy this season.
Right from the beginning of the season they had occupied the middle of the table, and it was only recently that Enyimba, after recording some home victories and picking points on the road, moved up to the third position while Kano Pillars is still battling to move up.
Action continues on Wednesday in week 15 of Glo Premier League with matches slated for ten venues as teams struggle for three vital points at stake.
