Anas Yusuf netted his 15th goal of the season for Nasarawa United to edge past Plateau United 3-2, relegation-troubled Heartland stunned defending champions Enugu Rangers just hours after the passing of ‘Chairman’ Christian Chukwu, who personified Rangers, while Abia Warriors are now very much in the championship race after a home win over second-placed Rivers United.

They are now just two points behind Rivers United with five rounds of matches still to be played.
In Kano, Ahmed Musa opened scoring for Kano Pillars to win 2-0 and add to the woes of bottom club Lobi Stars.
