Akwa United defeated newly promoted Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) outfit Dakkada FC in Sunday’s Uyo derby.
Akarandut Orok’s 17th-minute effort separated the teams in the keenly contested encounter at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium.
This result means coach Kennedy Boboye has now won both games since taking over from John Obuh as manager of the Promise Keepers.
Despite the loss, Dakkada FC are third in the NPFL log with 16 points from 10 outings, while Akwa United climbed to the 10th position having accrued 13 points.
Sunshine Stars had their juggernauts halted thanks to a 2-1 defeat to Rivers United in Port Harcourt.
