Heartland FC proved too much for the league leader Rivers United on Saturday as actions resumed in the matchday 28 of the league, BSNsports.com.ng can report.

Despite missing a penalty, goals from Sunday Chinedu and Chijioke Mbaoma ensured a 2-0 win for the Naze Millionaire.

Former champion Enyimba International survived a late scare to beat Lobi Stars 2-1 in Aba.

After a goalless first half, Samuel Kalu opened the scoring in the 52nd minute before Samuel Stone made 2-0 in the 86th while Samuel Ganda netted Lobi's only goal in the 90+7 minute.

Munir Idris's lone strike in the 18th minute secured Niger Tornadoes maximum points against Gombe United.

Other games are slated for Sunday.
