Katsina United mounted a dramatic late comeback to salvage a 2-2 draw against Plateau
United in Saturday’s standalone Nigeria Premier Football League fixture at the Muhammadu
Dikko Stadium in Katsina, according to league match reports.

## Plateau United Takes the First-Half Lead

The encounter began with early opportunities for the home side. Katsina United’s
Nura Abdulbari came close to breaking the deadlock in the 16th minute but was unable
to convert his chance. Plateau United capitalized on their opportunities later in
the half. In the 30th minute, a corner delivered by Victor Dawa was deflected into
the net for an own goal, putting the visitors in front.

Plateau United, managed by Gbenga Ogunbote, weathered a series of counterattacks
from the hosts to carry their one-goal cushion into the halftime interval.

## Late Thrills at Muhammadu Dikko Stadium

The tempo of the second half remained quiet until the closing ten minutes, when 
both teams combined for three goals in rapid succession. In the 82nd minute, Plateau
United appeared to put the match out of reach. Nenrot Silas delivered a precise 
pass through to Jibril Ibrahim, who slotted the ball past Katsina United goalkeeper
Francis Koroma to double the visitors’ lead.

With Plateau United leading 2-0, Katsina United responded almost immediately through
their bench. Just two minutes after conceding, substitute Yusha’u Armiya’u found
the net in the 84th minute to reduce the deficit to 2-1 and re-energize the home
supporters.

## Stoppage-Time Equalizer Denies Away Win

Katsina United completed their turnaround deep into added time. Another substitute,
Umar Rabiu, struck from close range to level the score at 2-2 just before the final
whistle.

The stoppage-time equalizer carried significant consequences for both sides. The
result denied Plateau United what would have been their first away victory of the
current campaign, while simultaneously sparing Katsina United from suffering their
first home defeat this season.

The fixture opened Matchday 10 action in the league, which is scheduled to continue
with seven matches on Sunday, including an encounter between league leaders Rivers
United and Bendel Insurance.
