Nasarawa United’s prolific striker Anas Yusuf continued his exceptional form in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), scoring his ninth goal of the season in a crucial 1-0 victory over Kano Pillars on MatchDay 9. The in-form forward, who has already notched two hat-tricks this season, is setting the pace in the Golden Boot race with an impressive ratio of a goal per game.
Yusuf’s clinical finishing has been a revelation in the NPFL 2024/25 campaign, with his goals proving instrumental in Nasarawa United’s performances. His remarkable achievement of scoring nine goals in nine appearances, including two hat-tricks, has established him as the league’s most feared striker, demonstrating exceptional consistency and predatory instincts in front of goal.
The striker’s latest goal against Kano Pillars showcased his importance to the team, as he once again proved to be the difference maker in a tight encounter. His scoring prowess has not only put him in pole position for the Golden Boot but has also helped elevate Nasarawa United’s attacking threat in the league.
With the season still in its early stages, Yusuf’s current form suggests he could be on track to challenge the NPFL scoring records. His combination of consistency and clinical finishing has made him the standout performer of the campaign so far, with his two hat-tricks highlighting his ability to single-handedly influence matches at the highest level of Nigerian football.
