NPFL NPFL Winner to earn 100 Million Naira
The winner of the League will be decided at the end of the Super Six.
The Flying Antelopes lost 2-1 at neighbours Abia Warriors to return to what has become a familiar terrain for the Coal City boys this season.
Two goals in either half from Jimoh Gbadamosi, who opened the scoring via a penalty in Umuahia, and Uche Odeh proved to be enough for the Warriors to seal victory at home.
John Uche gave Rangers hope when he initially cancelled Gbadamosi's opener, but his 26th-minute equaliser proved to be nothing but a consolation for the Enugu side.

The visitors, United took the lead courtesy of Yakubu Adam in the 21st minute but failed to hold on as Samuel Ayorinde, the star of the day, scored a brace to put Shooting ahead.

NPFL Review: Rivers United survive, Dogo magic persists as Akwa Utd enter top 2
An average of two goals was scored per game in the NPFL with champions Rivers United dropping points at home.
Bendel Insurance 1-1 Akwa United
In what was the game of the round in the league, the spoils were shared in Benin as Akwa United left with a valuable draw after the game ended 1-1.
That man, Imade Osarenkhoe was on target again for the Group A leaders after he fired them in front just under two minutes into the game.
However, this time, Insurance could not hold on as a free kick from Cyril Olisemah just after the half-hour mark saw both sides share the spoils.

In what appears to be a controversial point earned on the road, Nasarawa United forced Enyimba to a 1-1 draw.

NPFL Osarenkhoe stunner denies Enyimba revenge vs Bendel Insurance
The NPFL match of the day between Enyimba and Bendel Insurance lived up to its pre-match hype, with Imade Osarenkhoe the difference maker again.
Top scorer, Chukwuemeka Obioma fired them in from the spot but United equalised 15 minutes from time.
The People's Elephant thought they had a chance to double the lead and possibly seal all three points when they got what looked like a clear penalty but the centre referee bizarrely ignored their appeal.
That particular decision came back to haunt the Elephant as Nasarawa scored 15 minutes from time to ensure a share of the spoils in Aba.
