Also, Sunshine Stars boosted their stuttering campaign with a 2-1 win over Wikki Tourists; thanks to goals from Sikiru Alimi and Franklin Sasere.

Elsewhere, a well-struck penalty kick from Joshua Agboola canceled out Obi Samson’s strike as Abia Warriors drew 1-1 with Katsina United at the Umuahia Township Stadium.
It was alleged that stalemate in Umuahia did not go down well with the home fans.
“Abia Warriors fans turned football to WAR as they threatened and beat officials after the game in Umuahia.
