The other game between Bendel Insurance and Sunshine Stars also ended in a stalemate.
Unlike the day’s first match, which produced just a solitary goal, there was plenty of drama in the game between the Sky Blues Stars and the defending champions.
Though there were a few chances after the opening goal, both sides failed to convert them, and Rivers United kept their lead intact going into the second 45 minutes.The second half had some twists for the Sky Blue stars, who explored all areas for an equaliser. Having watched his team miss several chances, Remo Stars coach, Gbenga Ogunmodede, made double substitutions in his squad, bringing in Junior Lokosa and Adams Olamilekan for a refreshed frontline in the 56th minute.
They soon faced another misfortune in the 70th minute as Lekan Adedayo restored parity for Remo Stars after Sochima Victor”s gaffe.
