Lobi Stars of Markudi have increased their lead at the summit of Nigeria Professional Football League table to four points.

Lobi got the extra cushion following their hard-earned lone goal victory over Enugu Rangers in one of Sunday’s Match Day 22 games played across the country.

Anthony Okpotu got the all-important goal for Lobi Stars as they increased their points tally to 40 points despite having a game outstanding.

Kano Pillars are still second on the log after they secured a point in Lafia forcing Nasarawa United to a barren draw.

A shock result was recorded in Nnewi where FC Ifeanyi Ubah were beaten 1-2 at home by Niger Tornadoes.

There were even more goals in Ilorin and Bauchi where Kwara United beat MFM 3-1 and Wikki thrashed Yobe Stars by the same margin.
