“It was a tough match, we battled against all odds to get the one point. I am happy we didn’t lose. We will build on that,” Umar promised.

In Ibadan, Crown FC defeated Gombe United in another Week 5 game 1-0.

Francis Nnedum scored the lone goal in the 36th minute with a free header off Bode Daniel’s inviting cross.

Onyekachi Okafor and Frank Ikechukwujewu were denied goals by the brilliant Super Eagles goalkeeper Chigozie Agbim of Gombe United.
