Kwara United 0-1 Bendel Insurance
Imade Osarenkhoe’s 25th-minute header which was the only goal at Ilorin handed Bendel Insurance the third victory in a streak. They become the only side to have 9 points after three games this season. Remo can also win against Shooting Stars.
Nasarawa United 0-3 Akwa United.
The Promise Keepers held to their promise after crushing Nasarawa United at Lafia. Nasarawa was whipped by 3-0 which was the biggest win of round 3. James Ajako 43,
Ndifreke Effiong’s 47 and Ndifreke Effiong’s 74 second-half goals were enough to seize all three points away for Akwa United.
Bayelsa 2-1 Wikki Tourist.
Wikki Tourist’s poor start to the season continued with a poor show at Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa. Wikki and Nasarawa remain the only two sides yet to pick a point after round 3. Two goals from Robert Mizo in both halves gave the Prosperity Boys an edge over the Bauchi-based club Wikki.
Abia Warriors 0-1 Lobi Stars
The Warriors were defeated at home by Lobi Stars who took all three massive points. Both clubs have six points after three games in Group B.
