The Sky Blue Stars defeated the Tin Boys from Jos by two goals to one at the New Jos Stadium putting their hope for Super Six in the hands.

Olamilekan made instant impact as he benefited from a mix up in the host backline to give the visitors the equalizer in the 81 minute.
Seven minutes later, Olalekan Adedayo scored a screamer for the Ikenne based club to a quick turn around of event at the stadium.
