NPFL: Sunusi Beats Udoh to Top Scorer Award On Disciplinary Rule

Nasarawa United’s Ibrahim Sunusi has been declared the highest goal scorer in the just ended regular season of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).

Sunusi tied with Akwa United’s Mfon Udoh on ten goals at the completion of matches going into the Championship Playoff to determine the season’s Champions.

The League Management Company (LMC) in arriving at the decision to declare Sunusi the top scorer of the season relied on provisions in Rule A9.4, A9.5-2 which stipulated considerations to choose the lead scorer in the event of a tie of two or more players.

Disciplinary records which is the second consideration to brake a tie favoured Sunusi as he only bagged a yellow card all through the season as against two recorded for Udoh.
