Newman Musa fired the MFM side into a shock first half lead, only for Chukwuka Emmanue to get into the act, doubling the visitors lead on 33 minutes but not wanting to be disgraced at home, Ifeanyi Nweke netted a consolatory goal for Nasarawa, who were however unable to find the equaliser as MFM’s prayer for a good beginning got answered as the referee blew to end the match after 90 minutes.

The boys of oil tycoon, Ifeanyi Uba have Seka Pasca to thank for the second minute strike that proved the difference after regulation time in Jos.
