Bendel Insurance defeated Shooting Stars 2-0 at the sunny Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium. It was Bendel Insurance that broke the deadlock in the 8th minute with an own goal. A well-placed cross from the left by Stanley Okorom saw Gali Falke unintentionally head the ball into his own net, putting Bendel Insurance in the lead at 1-0.

In the 78th minute, super sub Evans Ogbonda showcased his skills with a well-taken debut goal in his debut home start. Ogbonda’s curling shot from outside the box found the top left corner of the net, leaving the 3SC technical area startled.

However, Monday Odigie was not happy with the result.
