EUROMATCH NPFL: Kano Pillars Pick Up First Point Away To 3SC In Nine Years After 0-0 Draw

Kano Pillars earned their first point away to Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) in nine years with a 0-0 draw in a rescheduled NPFL Matchday 3 fixture at the Lekan Salami Stadium.

The result ended a long drought for Kano Pillars, as their previous non-defeat away to the Oluyole Warriors came on June 7, 2017—also a 0-0 draw.

Since then, Pillars had lost their last four trips to Ibadan, conceding six goals while scoring just once.

Both sides created chances but failed to convert. Shooting Stars dominated possession (around 65%) and had more attacks and dangerous attacks, while Kano Pillars remained solid defensively in an unbeaten start to the 2026/27 season.

Heading into the match, Kano Pillars were unbeaten in six games (two wins, four draws) and 3SC had mixed home form.

The point helped Pillars continue their solid start and improves their away record after a difficult previous season; for 3SC it marked consecutive home draws.
