Plateau United put their opening-day disappointment behind them as they claim a 1-0 win over Kwara United in their NPFL Matchday 2 clash at the New Jos Stadium on Sunday.

Alex Aghaowa provides the decisive moment in the 29th minute, rising highest inside the box to meet the ball with a powerful header that sends Plateau United into the lead.

Kwara United come out with greater intent after the interval, looking to restore parity and take something away from Jos.

However, Plateau United remain resolute and manage the pressure without allowing the visitors to find a way through.

The victory offers Plateau United a timely response to their 2-0 loss to Rivers United in their opening fixture and gives them their first three points of the campaign.

For Kwara United, the search for a first win continues after they fail to convert their second-half pressure into an equaliser.
