The match christened as Oriental derby between Enyimba and Enugu Rangers lived up to expectations as the two teams gave good accounts of themselves in a thrilling encounter which put millions of soccer fans at Agege stadium on the edge of their seats.

The results ensured that People Elephants moved top of the table pending other two games.
