Barau Football Club on Saturday played out a goalless 0–0 draw with Warri Wolves in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 27 fixture.
The encounter between the two sides, who were both promoted to the NPFL last season, ended without a goal at the Southern Delta State University Stadium, Ozoro.
Despite several attempts from both teams, neither side could find the breakthrough, as the spoils were shared at full time.
