For one of the the first times Heartland FC found themselves in a winning position away from home, they ended up losing the match.

The game away at Niger Tornadoes saw the hosts take an early lead at the 11th minute, but Heartland FC equalized and took the lead in 2 minutes.

Goals from Clement Junior Ogbobe and George Jenom in the 34th and 36th minutes of the first half looked like it was going to hand the visitors their first away victory of the season, but Mohammed Hussaini leveled for the hosts 2 minutes before halftime.

I took a 76th minute winner from Niger Tornadoes to ensure visiting Heartland FC does not get anything from the game, with the Owerri based team also dropping to 19th position.

Remo Stars maintained their lead after a 2:0 win against sunshine stars and the victory brings them back to winning ways having previously lost to Heartland FC in Owerri.
