The Harmony Boys who had been on a run of eight games without defeat in the league fell behind in the 30th minute when Chiamaka Madu's headed attempt beats GK Aiyenugba. They came close to equalising on the stroke of half-time but Stephen Jude's long range effort was denied by the crossbar. A big save by Dele Aiyenugba in the second half denied Rangers their second of the evening leaving the score 1-0 at full time. MFM FC bounced back from recent disappointment of seven winless run in the league with a 2-0 win over rock bottom side, Adamawa United.

Abia Warriors came from a goal down to whip Warri Wolves 4-1 at the Okigwe Township Stadium. The Imama Amapakabo led side fell behind in the third minute to Sunday Williams goal but responded with four goals, two in each half although they could have gone behind again after they equalised but the woodwork came to their rescue. Chukwuemeka Obioma (23’), Godwin Obaje (45+4’, 66’,) and Paul Samson (81’) scored for Abia Warriors. Sadeeq Yusuf 71st minute penalty cancelled out Pascal Eze's 16th minute opener as Sunshine Stars and Heartland FC played a 1-1 draw at the Akure Township Stadium. The Owena Waves are now four games without a win and visits Kaduna next where they will play Kano Pillars. Meanwhile Kano Pillars fell 1-0 to Lobi Stars in Markurdi.
