Nigeria premier league side Kano Pillars ended their twelve years home invisibility by a stunning 2-1 defeat from Nasarawa United on Sunday.
The defeat was Pillars' first in 202 matches at their Sani Abacha stadium, some 4,446 days since they lost by the same scoreline against Julius Berger FC on on 21th June, 2003.
Just to rub salt into the injury, both of Nasarawa's goals were scored by ex-Pillars players, Manir Ubale and Bature Yaro.
"If anything we should celebrate today for the record," Pillars tweeted despondently after the final whistle.
Sadly, in football as in life, all things must eventually pass -- even 12-year unbeaten records!
