Afeez Nasiru scored the first goal for Kwara United in the 23rd minute before substitute Wasiu Alalade netted a brace in the second half.

Speaking with Legit.ng on his donation to Kwara United, Liverpool player Taiwo Awoniyi explained that he only did that so as to motivate the players ahead of their next game.

''Kwara is my state and those playing for Kwara United are my brothers and I must support them for them to excel this season in the League.
''I watched their training and I was impressed with what I saw and the quality of players in the team in which kudos must be given to the management under Mr Kumbi Titiloye.
''Mr Kumbi is someone I respect very well because he is an excellent football administrator and I must commend the Government for making him the Chairman of Kwara United.''
