NPFL: Plateau United mock Heartland after 5-1 demolition
Plateau United on Wednesday took Heartland of Owerri to the cleaners in the Nigeria Professional Football League at the Awka City Stadium. Business minded Plateau Untied took the fight to the Nazi millionaires from the first blast of the whistle earning their first goal in the 14th minute. What was meant to be a battle between two equally marched teams turned out to be a tea party for the
Plateau landlords who did not hesitate to score four extra goals ironically from five different players beginning from the first scored by Olawale Doyeni in the 14th minute.

Subsequently Lawarence Edward,Silas Nerot, Victor Makalala and Harrison Ebah all took turns to register their names on the scoresheet. Heartland had only a 4th minute added time goal by Onyekachi Okafor to hold as consolation. The victory appear to have been a surprise for the Plateau team who took to their X afterwards to mock their opponents for turning into a soft nut to crack
” we didn’t know you came to the gunfight with a catapult. We could have been more humane. But we thought you were hiding your howitzers behind your backs. We will not do it again please. No vex” the team said via @plateau_united.
