It was an action packed first day of the season which saw 12 goals scored and a shock result in Jos where 2017 champions, Plateau United were beaten at home 2-0 by Kwara United.

In Jos, Plateau United were stunned by Kwara United at the New Jos Stadium.

After a goalless first half which saw little clear cut chances, it was the visitors who scored two goals in five minutes, midway through the second half.

First it was Jide Fatokun who scored on the 62nd minute while Michael Ohanu got the second on the 67th minute to ensure that Kwara United picked up all three points.

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.

At the Agege Township Stadium In Lagos, MFM FC got off to a fast start against Warri Wolves as they were two goals up within the the first 25 minutes.

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.
