NPFL sides that are still competing at the National Federation Cup were too much to handle as the round of 16 matches of the tournament were decided on Wednesday across different centers.
High-flying Bendel Insurance kept alive their hopes of a domestic double after recording a slim win over Heartland at the Awka Township stadium
Sarki Ismael’s 9th goal of the season in all competitions earned the “Benin-Arsenal” the maximum victory
At the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin, Samson Olasupo opened the scoring for Sunshine Stars as the Akure-based side sent out NNL side EFCC FC after a 3-2 win to also continue their push for a domestic double while Kwara United edged Nassarawa United by a lone goal at the same center. Samad kadiri’s lone goal via the penalty spot in the second half was enough to earn coach Kabiru Dogo’s side the quarter-final ticket
