The team needed Yusuf Abdullahi's 52' minutes strike to get the victory for Pillars Pillars in a grudge match against their Northern neighbour.

In their second game Kano Pillars FC spanked Kebbi United 3-0 to record their second win in their NNL MD 2 outing.

Biodun Yusuf raised the goals curtains in the 17th minutes, Aliyu Umar secured the double in the 70th and 88th minutes.

Kano Pillars fc would be away to Malumfashi FC, on Match Day 3, next weekend.
