A six-goal thriller between Aboubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) FC and Sunshine Stars at the Kwara Sports Complex, Ilorin, is a top pick of the Matchday-28 fixtures.

ABS pulled a goal back in the 61st minute through Samuel Oyedeji. Teammate Adeshina Gata hit the woodwork there minutes after the Ilorin side scored.  ABS' Ebola Anaekwe made it 2-3 from a goal-line scramble but Sunshine restored their two goal lead through Ezekiel Thompson seconds later. 

Enugu Rangers were ahead in their match against 3SC at the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium, Enugu through Godwin Aguda who put the Flying Antelopes ahead in the 29th minute. But the Cathedral was quiet when Abu  Azeez equalized with ten minutes left on the clock.
