Ikorodu City suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Rivers United in Gameweek 30 of the NPFL. This result means they have picked up just one point from an available six in their last two matches, dropping to sixth place on the NPFL table.

Nasarawa United extended their lead above the relegation zone by two points with a shocking victory over last season’s NPFL champions, Rangers International. Rangers were without head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu, who was on international duty with the Nigerian national team.

Enyimba failed to secure maximum points against Bayelsa United, further denting their hopes of qualifying for continental football.

Meanwhile, Remo Stars’ clash against the bottom-placed side was postponed as both of their goalkeepers were on international duty.
