Kano Pillars Football Club on Sunday emerged champions of the 2019 Aiteo Cup after beating Niger Tornadoes FC via penalties.

Pillars beat Tornadoes 4-3 in penalty kicks after both teams played 90 minutes in a goalless draw in the match played at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on Sunday, July 28.

Both teams had piled pressure against each other in both halves of the game, but failed to yield result and some fans have this to say after the match.

Fans went wild in celebration which almost led to a stampede after the match.

In the female Aiteo Cup final played earlier at the same venue, Nasarawa Amazons beat Rivers Angels to lift the trophy.

They also won via penalty kicks after both teams played a goalless draw regulation time.
