Rivers United Close the rowing gaps
Rivers United revived the race for the title with a crucial victory of 1-0 over the rowing stars in Port Harcourt.
The 84 -minute goal of David Sholunmade was decisive, reducing the advantage of rowing at the top to only five points.
Although rowing stars have a game in hand, a half -week clash against Lobi stars, the pressure is increasing.

The tension in the field extended to the stands, with some fans of the house, according to the reports, vent their frustration after the final whistle.
For fleeting stars, the raffle is a setback in its search for continental football. On the other hand, the city of Ikorodu assured a valuable point of visitor, one that could be crucial in its historical attempt to win a continental position in its season of first level debut.
Continental Para Par
In addition to Remo Stars and Rivers United, which is likely to occupy the first two places, the battle for the final continental ticket is still fierce.
Enyimba claimed the prisoners and vital points with a 2-1 victory over the Abia Warriors in Aba’s Derby. The result hit the ambitions of the first three of the Warriors of Abia and even closer to the persecution package.

Only one of these teams will ensure the final continental place for the first day 38. Wait fireworks in the coming weeks.
The descent battle reaches fever
Heartland FC was lifeless by defeating Kano Pillars 2-0, finishing a frustrating run without victories. With 38 points, they are now at the top of the descent zone that is still far from being safe.
Meanwhile, Nasarawa United beat Akwa United 2-0 in Lafia, climbing 16 with 39 points. Leonard Ugochukwu and Abubakar Garba scored in each half to ensure a vital victory.
The result dragged Akwa United to the danger zone after briefly with his previous victory in Ilorin.

Lobi’s stars broke a five-game losing streak with a 1-1 draw against the stars of the sun in their adoptive native field in Enugu. Sunshine continued through Ahmadu Liman in minute 9, but Atule matched at the beginning of the second half.
