The Pride of Rivers now have 47 points and remain third in the table behind Rangers and Wiki Tourists.

Aloma Idris put the hosts ahead when his free kick was deflected into the net three minutes after the break. Eight minutes later, his corner kick was nodded home by Onyekachi Okafor to make it 2-0 for Stanley Eguma's men. Ikorodu United came close to reducing the deficit on the dot of 90 minutes when Muoghare Dede's shot hit the crossbar. |
