Ikorodu City continued their impressive NPFL form on Sunday, defeating Plateau United 2–1 at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena to climb to the top of the table after Matchday 13.

The Oga Boys had to dig deep for the victory, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches and securing a fourth straight home win.

After a cagey first half, the game burst into life in the second. Joseph Arumala broke the deadlock with a well-timed header from a Folarin Temitope cross before substitute Alade Balogun capitalised on defensive indecision to double the advantage for the Lagos side.

Plateau United hit back through Wisdom Ndon, who reacted quickly to flick in Tarabina Biweribo’s long throw. The goal sparked urgency in the Peace Boys, but Ikorodu City goalkeeper John Amah produced crucial saves to keep the visitors at bay. Despite late pressure, the home side held on for all three points.
