The Oluyole Warriors hosted Doma United.

It seems Heartland coach Christian Obi might get the boot. The gaffer now walks a tightrope as he received a two-game ultimatum to change their fortunes.<\/p>\n<p>Heartland remains rooted in 19th place with three points.<\/p>\n<p>The game in Katsina provided more excitement than was expected.

They moved to eighth place with eight points, while Sunshine Stars remain in 17th place.<\/p>\n<p>Bayelsa United brought their three-game losing streak to an end. They stopped the Harmony Boys from leaving with a share of the spoils.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Mizo returned to scoring ways with a brace to down Kwara United 2-1.

A 42nd-minute Alex Oyowah goal gave the Pride of Rivers maximum points. It helped them to tenth on the log.<\/p>\n<p>The last game of the weekend was at the Mbolaji Johnson Arena, where Sporting Lagos defeated Niger Tornadoes 2-1, with veteran striker Junior Lokosa
