Two second half goals were all Rivers United of Port Harcourt needed to beat Shooting Stars Sports Club, in a Matchday seven encounter.
The match, played at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, saw the Ibadan soccer lords hold their visitors to a barren draw, in the first half.
3SC goalkeeper, Mustapha Lawal displayed sheer brilliance, saving spot kicks awarded the homers on two occasions.
Referee Abubakar Abdulahi had awarded a penalty kick to the Port Harcourt based side in the 13th minute of the encounter, after spotting a handball in the 3SC goal area.
Mustapha, however guessed right to stop the resultant penalty kick, only for the referee to order a replay, which the goalie caught again.
The Oluyole Warriors were able to curtail the hosts to end the first half nil all.
Aniekene Okon broke the deadlock five minutes into the second half, before Ndifreke Udo added the second in the 65th minute, to give the homers all points.
Spirited efforts by the Ibadan soccer lords to find the back of the net, proved abortive as the host resisted all their attacks, thus ending the match 2-0.
Shooting Stars will on Monday, welcome Katsina United to the Lekan Salami Stadium, in a Matchday eight fixture.
