Straight off the bat, Bendel Insurance got their 2022/23 NPFL season off to a flyer and the team has gone on to shock many.
After eight round of matches, Insurance are the only team yet unbeaten in the League and they top Group A which houses Enyimba, Plateau United and Akwa United.
Despite their impressive run this season, they don’t seem to be conceived as special by everybody, and in particular Nasarawa United’s midfielder King Osanga.
Nasarawa United are bottom of Group A and are facing relegation to the NNL next season, unless they find a good run.
In their most recent league match, Nasarawa United lost 1-0 to Bendel Insurance, but Osanga believes their were signs to show they can turn the season around and the league leaders weren’t spectacular.
“The truth is Bendel Insurance are not that spectacular,” said Osanga. “The goal they scored was our own error.”
“We got a red card and played with 10 men against 11, but everybody is giving in his own shift now so in the survival battle we will sail through.”
