Achievers FA maintained their impressive start to the 2026 Kwara Kiddies League season with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over league newcomers House of Prayer FA (HOPAFA) in a closely contested encounter.
The match began cautiously, with both sides showing defensive discipline and a determination to avoid costly mistakes.
While Achievers FA gradually asserted their dominance, buoyed by strong support from their home fans, clear-cut scoring opportunities remained scarce throughout the first half as House of Prayer FA held firm at the back.
The breakthrough finally arrived shortly after the restart when Daud Taofeeq capitalised on a defensive lapse from the visitors.
Demonstrating remarkable determination, the forward relentlessly chased a long ball before calmly firing into the net after HOPAFA failed to deal with the danger.
Despite efforts from the visitors to find an equaliser, Achievers FA remained resolute defensively to preserve their slender advantage until the final whistle.
The victory marked Achievers FA’s second consecutive win of the campaign, extending their perfect start to the season.
The result sees them occupy second position on the league table as they continue to build momentum in the early stages of the 2026 Kwara Kiddies League.
