Nigerian champions, Kano Pillars have become the new leaders in the Professional Football League following their 1-0 win over Bayelsa United on Wednesday.

Apart from the Kano Pillars versus Bayelsa United game, three other Week 2 matches took place in Gombe, Ilorin and Maiduguri.
.
El-Kanemi Warriors and Wikki Tourists fired blank in Maiduguri under tight security in the day's early kickoff which began from 3pm local time.
.
The champions without influential striker, Gambo Mohammed and midfielder Gabriel Reuben, both on international duty with Nigeria, struggled to break Bayelsa United managed by ex-Kano Pillars coach, Ladan Bosso.
.
While Pillars found no joy against Bayelsa United in the opening half, Gombe United recorded the first goal in the four games on the day.
.
Impressive midfielder, Austin Ekpoma put Gombe United in front on 27 minutes against ABS.
.
At the Kwara State Stadium in Ilorin, Supersand Eagles forward, Abu Azeez, struck sweetly via a Kabiru Sanusi assist to make amends for his first half miss as Kwara United went a goal up against Sunshine Stars.
.
It was the game in Ilorin that produced the next goal.
.
Josiah Christian's thumping header from a corner kick ensured that Sunshine Stars drew level.
.
Back in Kano where the fans were becoming restless as they had expected a rout, petite striker Bello Musa Kofarmata popped up to score the winner with 11 minutes left to play.
