In a keenly contested early afternoon game decided at the Awka City Stadium on Sunday, Insurance edged fellow NPFL Super Six contenders Sunshine Stars 1-0 courtesy of top marksman Imade Osarenkhoe who converted from the penalty spot in the 57th minute.

Insurance will now face second division side Warri Wolves in the semi-final after the Seasiders eliminated Super Six hopefuls Lobi Stars in Ijebu-Ode.
