Abia Warriors three-match winning streak came to an end at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba as Enyimba came from behind to claim the Oriental Derby bragging right with a 2-1 win, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Warriors had gone ahead against their more illustrious Oriental brothers but failed to hold on to their lead as two goals from former Warriors captain, Kalu Nweke and Joseph Atule in either half cancelled out Anthony Ijoma's goal and secured the three points at stake for the hosts in the Matchday 32 fixture of the ongoing Nigeria Premier Football League.

Rivers United enjoyed a slim one-nil home win over Remo Stars to close up the gap to five points on the log while Nasarawa United claimed the maximum points against Akwa United. Niger

Tornadoes secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over El-Kanemi Warriors at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.

Mohammed Hussaini opened the scoring, and Ahmed Family sealed the win with a late penalty, earning the team valuable three points.

In Ibadan, Shooting Stars were held to a goalless draw by visiting Ikorodu City while Lobi Stars shared the spoils one apiece with Sunshine Stars at home in Enugu.
