In the biggest match of the
evening, Enyimba defeated Enugu
Rangers 1-0 in the Oriental Derby
courtesy of a goal by ex-Rangers
striker Emeka Nwanna who came
to haunt his former employers
after being laid off at the end of
last season.
Johnson Olewezi's brace had
already given Dolphins a 2-0
lead over visiting Akwa United
before the game was suspended
by the match commissioner as
rain over-flooded the pitch. The
game will be continued tomorrow
morning by 10h00.
Newly-signed Kelvin Itoya's late
goal helped Warri Wolves to a
1-0 win over visiting Sharks FC.
But the big upset of the day
came from Kastina-Ala where
Bayelsa United recorded a 4-3
away win over Lobi Stars in a
highly pulsating encounter.
Elsewhere, Kano Pillars recorded
a 3-1 win over visiting Wikki
Tourists, while Kaduna United
defeated visiting Sunshine Stars
2-0.
First-half goals from Zikiye
Jonathan and Frank Egharevba
helped Nembe City to a 2-0
home win over Heartland, while
Cyril Obodo's first half penalty
set Gombe United on course to a
3-2 home win over Shooting
Stars. The Ilorin Derby between
Kwara United and ABS FC ended
in a goalless draw.
At the time of compiling these
results, the result of the game
between El Kanemi Warriors and
Nasarawa United was yet to be
confirmed.
