The visitors retained dominance and drew the first blood through Mathias Samuel in the 38 minutes, the former Plateau United man reacted quickly to jab the ball  into the net a precise cross from John Lazarus to end  first half in style. 

The second half started after the break as  Lobi Stars injected  some new faces, Benard Ovoke made sure the host were purnished as his corner kicks paved way for  two important goals that  sealed the game. 

First, it was Agbaji Anthony who nodded powerfully beyond the goalkeeper in the 64th minute, while new boy Umar Abba who has been terrific since his move to Lobi Stars made it 3-0 in the 85th minute in a game that ended in favor of Lobi Stars after  regulation time.
