Remo Stars vs Lobi Stars
In what was the battle of the stars, the Sky Blues needed two late goals from Sikiru Alimi and Adams Olamilekan to take all three points.
This clash lived up to its pre-match hype as both teams looked to keep their title alive, with Olamilekan the hero after he scored one and assisted the other.

However, the game remained deadlocked after 90 minutes as both defences remained stubborn.
But in added time, the Sky Blues completely turned things around with two goals in four minutes, Alimi and Olamilekan the heroes to send everyone at the Remo Stars Stadium into a frenzy.
With the win, Remo Stars bounced back to winning ways after that 2-1 defeat to Kano Pillars in the previous matchday.
For Lobi Stars, the Pride of Benue failed to build on that brilliant win against Doma United with a third defeat in five matches.
