With the result, Rivers United moved to 55 points, closing the gap on Remo Stars to five points, although the Sky Blue Stars still have a game in hand and sit on 60 points.

Enyimba came from behind in Aba to defeat Abia Warriors 2-1 in the heated Oriental Derby.

The visitors took the lead in the 20th minute through Ijoma Desouza, but Enyimba responded swiftly.

Kalu Nweke equalised in the 35th minute with a beautifully curled effort before Joseph Atule sealed the win in the 66th minute with a clinical finish.

The victory lifted Enyimba to eighth place on the table with 46 points.

Mohammed Hussaini and Ahmed Family found the net for the Ikon Allah Boys, helping them climb further up the standings into the 11th position.

Elsewhere, Lobi Stars’ struggles continued at their adopted home ground, the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Sunshine Stars.
