The University of Ilorin football team, UNILO-RIN Warriors, will today tackle KSU Steelers of Kogi State University in a much-anticipated round-of-16 second leg fixture of the Higher Institutions Football League.
In the reverse fixture played at the Kogi State University Stadium, Anyigba, UNILORIN Warriors were forced to a 1-1 draw after Michael Fashanu’s goal was cancelled out by KSU Steelers’ Pelumi Babatunde’s strike.
