Ikorodu City Run Riot Against Katsina United in Record-Breaking NPFL Victory

Ikorodu City FC stamped their authority on the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) with an emphatic 6-0 demolition of Katsina United, recording the biggest win of the 2024/25 NPFL season so far.

In a masterclass of attacking football, Ayomide Cole led the rout with a well-taken brace, while Tosin Oyedokun, Oladimeji Dada, Shola Adelani, and Emmanuel Solomon each contributed a goal to the spectacular victory.

This result not only marked a historic moment for the Lagos-based club in their maiden NPFL season, but also sent a clear message to the rest of the league: Ikorodu City are not just here to participate — they’re here to compete.

🔥 A New Force in Nigerian Football?

Under the guidance of Nurudeen Aweroro, the Oga Boys have turned heads with their fearless, attacking approach. With 48 goals to their name, they now lead the league in goals scored—a remarkable feat for a newly promoted side.

The victory pushed Ikorodu City up to 4th place on the log, breathing down the necks of the title contenders and keeping their continental dreams very much alive.

Next up, they welcome Niger Tornadoes to the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in what promises to be another electric home fixture.

❌ Katsina United in Crisis?

While Ikorodu City were flying high, Katsina United had a night to forget. The heavy loss leaves them languishing in 15th position, with just 40 points from 32 games. With the season inching closer to its climax, the heat is on for Katsina to avoid being dragged into a relegation dogfight.

Their next test? A daunting trip to face league leaders Remo Stars—a fixture that could define their survival hopes.

✍️ Opinion: The Rise of Ikorodu City Is More Than a Fairytale

For a club barely finding its feet in the top flight, Ikorodu City's fearless football is refreshing. There’s passion, there's purpose, and most importantly, there's belief. If they continue on this trajectory, fans might just witness one of the most memorable debut seasons in NPFL history.

Whether they can maintain the momentum remains to be seen—but for now, Lagos is buzzing, and Ikorodu City are writing their own script.
