The Kun Khalifat Chronicle
Match12 Sep 2026
No end in sight to Kun Khalifat's wait for a win
7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Kun Khalifat has to find a result from somewhere.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
The game went through Wisdom Obichere — 6.81
Marked 6.81 on 17 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Tempers go at Kun Khalifat
Solomon Odoemenam was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Michael Musa on the point
“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Michael Musa after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Ugochukwu Akuta
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
