IGP Flickers scored through Awasa Augustine and Musa Theophilus.
Similarly, Desert Queens of Yobe defeated Heartland Flickers of Imo 2-0 to leave the seven-time champions with no points.

“We don’t have a quality training pitch in Imo. We only train in a sub-standard pitch that is reminiscent of a room.”
She urged her team and supporters not to lose hope, adding that the team would do them proud in their  next matches.
