Wikki Tourists’ battle against relegation suffered a significant setback on Sunday as they fell to a 2-1 home defeat against Bendel Insurance.
The crucial Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) encounter saw the Bauchi side concede an early goal in the 3rd minute, putting them on the back foot.
While J. Mairiga managed to pull Wikki Tourists level in the 24th minute, sending the teams into halftime at 1-1, Bendel Insurance secured the winning goal in the 55th minute. Despite their efforts, Wikki Tourists were unable to find an equalizer, leaving them with no points from the fixture.
This devastating loss leaves Wikki Tourists rooted to the bottom of the NPFL standings with just 40 points and only three matches remaining in the current season. Their hopes of avoiding the drop now hang by a thread as they face an uphill battle in their final games.
