Abia Warriors maintained perfect start to the NPFL season with a win over Bayelsa United.

Erasmus Onu’s side kick started the campaign with a massive confidence boosting win against title contenders Rangers last weekend, and they followed it up with another impressive result at home.

The game ended 3-1, with the newly promoted Bayelsa United second best all through.

Abia Warriors got an ideal start in the game with Kalu Nweke scoring the opener in the 2nd minute before Bello Idowu made it 2-0 in the 65th minute.

Bayelsa United reduced the deficit in the 83rd minute to give the Federation Cup holders glimpse of hope.

However, Henry Udezuka saved the point, netting the 3rd goal with three minutes left in the game.

Abia Warriors have now secured a back-to-back win this season and top Group B with six points.
