Chijioke Akuneto, Nyima Nwagua, and Ishaq Kayode all came close to scoring, but it took the heroics safe hands of Sochima Victor to preserve the score at 0-0 after 90 minutes at the Pantami Stadium in Gombe, ensuring the Pride of Rivers maintained their one-point lead over Plateau United.

🎙”One good thing about the game is that today is my birthday. My players actually promised to give me a birthday gift by winning the game but we got a draw. I saw their effort today, they made frantic effort to win the game but a lot of scoring chances they missed especially in the first half, they would have rapped up the game.” – Stanley Eguma said.
