At Nnewi, FC IfeanyiUbah started their season on a winning note after beating Lobi Stars 1-0 at the FC IfeanyiUbah stadium.

Nonso Nzediegwu scored on the 47th minute and it proved to be the winner as the Anambra Warriors held on till the end of the game.

Ebenezer Odeyemi scored the first goal on the 7th minute while Balogun Muyiwa scored the second on the 23rd minute.

However, Warri Wolves pulled one back on the 27th minute through John Chinedu but their inability to covert their chances in the second half meant that MFM won all three points as the match ended 2-1.

In Lafia, Nasarawa United came from a goal down to beat Wikki Tourists 2-1 at the Lafia Township Stadium.

Promise Damala had given Wikki an early lead on the 4th minute but that didn't last long as Nasarawa United equalized through an Emmanuel Ihionu own goal.
