Goalkeeper Benjamin Osagie was adjudged to have fouled Ohanu of Kwara United after he denied him from scoring what should have been the 1st goal from open play.

Kwara United kept up the pressure and got the deserved first goal and second within two minutes.
As the clock got to 30th minute, the Harmony Boys open their goal account after Stephen Jude make amend for his penalty miss as he tucked into the net from a rebound as Tornadoes failed to clear their line.
Joshua Agboola doubled Kwara United's lead two minutes later latching on to a rebound after goalkeeper Osagie couldn't deal with Muritala's tame shot.
The victory see Kwara United go second in Group B behind Remo Stars on same 3points but one goal difference less than the Sagamu based team.
