Kwara United halts Heartland\u2019s Ride, team hopes to attack Gombe this Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The newly rediscovered confidence in Heartland Fc was on Wednesday halted by high riding Kwara United in a week four of the ongoing Nigeria Professional Football League.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Najeem Olukokun, who made NPFL\u2019S team of the week after week three games, netted the goal that sealed the 1-0 win for the Afonja \u00a0warriors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The striker\u2019s goal was just enough to seal the full points for the Ilorin side in the game that took place at the Kwara State stadium in Ilorin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In spite of Heartland head coach, Ndubuisi Nduka, bringing on Jolly Osas and Uchenna Orisakwe (Ortega), the hosts held for their second win of the season to stay unbeaten in four games.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heartland, however lost their first in four, haven beaten US Bitam of Gabon 2-1 in a CAF confederation cup game last two weeks and gaining a 1-1 draw and a resounding 4-1 Victory against Warri Wolves and Kaduna united in 5 days before Kwara united halted the smooth ride on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heartland have scored 8 goals and conceded 5 in as many as 4 games domestically and continentally.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A win against Gombe will mean that Heartland would have garnered 7 points in 5 games having won two lost, two and drawn one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The team is expected to also depart the shores of Nigeria next week Thursday to Gabon were they will take on Us Bitam.<\/p>\n
