The visitors stunned their hosts with the curtain raiser in the sixteenth minute through Kalu Nweke from Godwin Obaje’s assist.

Sai Masu Gida would level up through Saidu Salisu in the twenty-seventh minute. Abdullahi Musa completed the comeback with a deft finish six minutes into the second half.
