The opening day of the 2025 Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 Playoffs saw tightly contested battles as former NPFL sides Wikki Tourists and Doma United shared the spoils in a goalless draw at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba.
The clash was the second game of the day in the Northern Conference, following another 0-0 result between Barau FC and Yobe Desert Stars, setting the tone for what promises to be a fiercely competitive fight for promotion.
Wikki Tourists started on the front foot, controlling possession and creating early chances, but Doma United gradually grew into the game and matched their opponents stride for stride. Despite opportunities at both ends, resolute defending and impressive goalkeeping ensured the deadlock remained unbroken.
The result leaves all four teams in the Northern Conference—Wikki Tourists, Doma United, Barau FC, and Yobe Desert Stars—level on one point after Matchday 1.
