Sadiq Rilwan scored the only goal as Doma United beat Inter Lagos 1-0 at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, making it two wins from two for the newly promoted Gombe side.
Doma United claimed their first away win of the 2026/27 NPFL season with a 1-0 victory over Inter Lagos at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan on Saturday, September 6, 2026, moving to six points from two matches with a clean sheet in both.
Sadiq Rilwan settled a tight, goalless first half with the only goal of the game in the 71st minute, punishing an Inter Lagos side that had more of the home support but could not find a way through the Gombe club’s defence.
The first half produced few clear chances as both sides were cautious in a first-ever meeting between the clubs. Doma United, patient and organised, absorbed Inter Lagos’ pressure without conceding clear openings, and the game remained goalless at the break.
Rilwan broke the deadlock in the 71st minute, converting the chance that decided the contest. Inter Lagos pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages, picking up several yellow cards as frustration grew, but Doma United’s defence held firm to see out the win.
Doma United have now beaten two Lagos clubs in successive weeks, following up their opening-day 2-0 win over Sporting Lagos with Saturday’s success at Inter Lagos. The result leaves the newly promoted side top of the early NPFL table on six points, with three goals scored and none conceded through two matches.
For Inter Lagos, also newly promoted, it is back-to-back defeats to start life in the top flight, following a 2-1 opening-weekend loss to Shooting Stars. The margins have been fine in both games, but Inter Lagos remain without a point after two rounds and next face a Lagos derby against Sporting Lagos still searching for their first.
