Ikorodu City suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Abia Warriors. Missing their captain, Waliu Ojetoye, who was on international duty, the Lagos-based club extended their winless run to three matches.

Remo Stars beat Bayelsa United 2-0 to remain at the top of the NPFL table. Their head coach, Daniel Ogunmodede, was also unavailable as he was on duty with the Super Eagles B team.

In a surprising result, Akwa United defeated Heartland FC 2-0 to climb out of the relegation zone.
