Bendel Insurance ended their three-game winless streak in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, courtesy of hard-earned 1-0 victory over Abia Warriors in Benin City on Saturday.
Kennedy Boboye’s side dominated proceedings in the first half but failed to find a way past Abia Warriors’ resolute defence.
The breakthrough came in the second half, when Chinedu Nwosu fired home the winning goal two minutes after the hour mark.
The win boosted the Benin Arsenals’ chances of picking a continental ticket at the end of the season.
Insurance remain in seventh position on the table with 49 points.
Abia Warriors maintained fourth position on the log despite the defeat.
