Plateau United FC on Sunday forced the high-flying Shooting Stars SC of Ibadan to a 1-1 stalemate in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 22, thus putting an end to their winning streak in Jos.
However, the Oluyole Warriors were able to maintain their seven-match unbeaten streak in the NPFL this season.
The Gbenga Ogunbote (Oracle)-tutored team almost secured a win when Kabiru Tijani put them ahead with a blistering long-range shot in the 76th minute.
The lead, however, was short-lived as Albert Hilary scored the equalizer from the right side of the goalkeeper just a minute later.
With the result, Shooting Stars SC still maintained their second position, as Rivers United, which could have altered the standings, saw their momentum diverted following a 2-0 loss to Heartland in Owerri.
There is now a 10-point gap between Rivers United and Remo Stars.
Action resumes on Monday as Lobi Stars welcome Enyimba, Bendel Insurance will be at home against Katsina United, Enugu Rangers will host Ikorodu City, and Kwara United will host El Kanemi Warriors in Ilorin.
