After defeating Heartland FC by three maximum points, Abia Warriors accomplished the unbelievable in Matchday 30 of the Nigeria Premier Football League NPFL.

Despite being down with a player in a pulsating encounter in Owerri, the visitors earned all three points in the Oriental derby.

At the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Adejoh Ojonugwa scored a free kick with ten minutes remaining to give the visitors the victory, despite Emmanuel Ogbuagu’s second bookable offence in the 57th minute.

As Akwa United defeated 10-man Kwara United 2-0 in Ilorin, they achieved their first back-to-back victories of the season.

The Promise Keepers maintained their hopes of survival and extended their winning streak to four games with goals from Osoba Kabir and Uche Sabastine.

Enyimba FC and Bayelsa United shared the spoils when the games ended one apiece, but Rivers United waited until the very end to defeat Ikorodu City 1-0 and earn the three maximum points.

Katsina United triumphed 3-0 over El-Kanemi Warriors, while Shooting Stars upset Niger Tornadoes 3-1 to resume their winning ways.
