Katsina United scored twice in the closing stages to rescue a 2-2 draw against Plateau United in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) encounter on Saturday.

Plateau United looked set for an important away victory after establishing a two-goal lead, but the hosts fought back with strikes from Yusha’u Armiya’u and Umar Rabiu to share the points.

Plateau United doubled their lead in the 82nd minute through Jibril Ibrahim, leaving Katsina United with a difficult task in the closing stages.

However, Armiya’u sparked the comeback just two minutes later, pulling one goal back in the 84th minute to give the home side renewed hope.

Katsina United completed their dramatic recovery in the third minute of added time when Rabiu found the equaliser in the 90+3rd minute.

The late rally ensured Katsina United avoided defeat after trailing by two goals, while Plateau United were left to settle for a point despite being in a commanding position late in the game.
