Two quick-fire first half goals saw champions, Plateau United return to winning ways, following a comfortable 3-0 win against El-Kanemi Warriors in Jos.

The game started with both clubs observe a minute’s silence in honour of Plateau’s physiotherapist, Damian Kuptong, who passed away in the early hours of Sunday.

Looking to bounce back from their defeat last weekend to Abia Warriors, Jimmy Ambrose headed the home side in front as early as the second minute, from the first corner of the match.

Six minutes later, Joshua Obaje doubled their advantage as the hosts went into the break with a comfortable lead.
