Plateau United delivered one of their most impressive performances of the season, thrashing high-flying Ikorodu City 4–1 in a dominant NPFL encounter to strengthen their position on the table.

The Peace Boys showed intent from the start and maintained control throughout the game, with second-half substitute Ossy Martins emerging as the standout performer after grabbing a brace to seal the emphatic victory.

Beyond the scoreline, the win could prove pivotal in their push away from the lower half of the table, easing pressure on the team while reigniting belief among supporters.

Attention now shifts to their next fixture, where Plateau United will be aiming to build on this momentum and secure another positive result as the league season approaches its final stages.
