Barau FC secured another vital point away from home on Saturday, March 21, 2026, after battling it out against Wikki Tourist in the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

The match between the two northern clubs took place at the New Jos Stadium, Zaria Road, Plateau State.

Both teams created several chances, but all efforts to break the deadlock proved futile as the match ended goalless.

It may be recalled that this season’s first round match between the two clubs ended 0-0 in Kano.

Barau FC continues to impress with their determination and dedication as they push to finish among the best teams in the 20-club league.

Muhammad Umar, who scored twice in our previous match, came close to scoring on several occasions but was unable to find the target.

Substitute Henry Ezeonye also made an effort to give the Maliya Boys the lead but his attempts were unsuccessful.

Goalkeeper Chisom Chiaha was outstanding once again, extending his run of five consecutive clean sheets with several crucial saves that contributed to the goalless draw.

The result takes Barau FC into the top ten of the NPFL table, with 41 points from 31 games, strengthening the club’s push for a strong finish to the end of the season.

After the match, Barau FC technical advisor Eugene Agagbe thanked God for the result despite the team’s wasted opportunities.

“We thank God for the result. The injuries we suffered in the first half affected our chances of scoring. We take it one match at a time and now our focus has shifted to the next home match against Katsina United. We believe we will get the victory.” Agagbe said.
