Niger Tornadoes extended their unbeaten run in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) to five matches after playing out a goalless draw with Barau FC on Friday.
The Ikon Allah Boys could not find a winning goal at the Bako Kontagora Stadium in Minna. However, the result means they have now recorded three wins and two draws in their last five league matches.
Barau FC also had reason to be pleased with the result. The visitors stretched their unbeaten run to four matches after holding the hosts to a stalemate.
