IT WAS a Sunday afternoon to remember in the NPFL as Kun Khalifa turned on the style, dismantling a shell-shocked Warri Wolves 3-0 in a performance that had the fans screaming for more.
From the first whistle, it was clear that the “Stars” of Kun Khalifa hadn’t just come to play—they had come to dominate. The Wolves, usually known for their bite, looked more like lost pups as the home side’s creative engine began to purr.
The breakthrough came in the 19th minute, and it was a moment of pure quality. M. Nnorom, the man who has been the heartbeat of Khalifa’s midfield this season, found a pocket of space at the edge of the area.
With the composure of a seasoned veteran, he lashed a strike that left the Wolves’ keeper clutching at thin air.
The stadium erupted. 1-0, and the momentum was firmly with the hosts.
While Nnorom opened the door, it was U. Onuoha who kicked it off the hinges. If there were any scouts in the stands, they would have filled their notebooks by the 74th minute. Onuoha, showing pace that would make a sprinter blush, latched onto a through ball to double the lead.
But the star man wasn’t finished. As the clock ticked into the 90th minute and the Wolves pushed desperately for a consolation, Onuoha struck again. A clinical finish into the bottom corner put the final nail in the coffin, completing his brace and sealing a comprehensive 3-0 victory.
For Warri Wolves, this was a day to forget. Despite some late pressure, they found no way past a Kun Khalifa defense that remained rock solid throughout.
As the sun sets on this NPFL encounter, one thing is certain: Kun Khalifa are no longer just participants; with stars like Nnorom and Onuoha leading the charge, they are becoming the team no one wants to face.
