Akwa United returned to winning ways in the Nigeria professional football league as they defeated Plateau United 1 – 0 at the Nest of Champions in Uyo on Saturday.
Charles Atshimene scored the only goal of the game to hand Akwa United record their fifth win of the campaign.
After the first half ended without a goal, Charles Atshimene composes himself and smash home from inside the box after a beautiful work by Ndifreke Effiong five minutes into the restart.
In the 59th minutes, Samuel Amadi had the opportunity for the second goal, but his volley from outside the box goes over to the top.
Akwa United was later reduced to ten players as Etboy Akpan was sent off after two bookable offenses in the 63rd minutes.
The visitors piled late pressure for the equalizer, but the Promise Keepers however held on for the maximum points.
