Kano Pillars have qualified for the season-ending Super Six tournament following their 3-0 victory over Delta Force in their Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) matchday 21 fixture on Monday at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.
Goals from Rabiu Ali in the 19th minute from the penalty spot and second-half goals from Auwalu Ali Malam and Yusuf Maigoro ensured that the former champions sealed their place in the Super Six with a game to spare.
Pillars are in the second position on the NPFL Group B table with 37 points from 21 games and they have an unassailable four-point gap ahead of third-placed Ifeanyi Ubah, who are occupying the final playoff spot.
