Nasarawa United tear Katsina United apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Katsina United, and it could have been more.

Collins Onovughe has said yes to Rangers International
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Nasarawa United have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Umar Ada scores twice — 8.75
Two goals and a mark of 8.75 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Sunusi Audu, 21, steals the show — 7.92
Marked 7.92 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Izuchuckwu Chimezie in the eights
