The celebration fever didn't subsided when Anas Yusuf make it 3-nil just two minutes later at the 32' as the away team possible hope of coming back into the game was being erased. I. Sanusi almost register a hat trick with an overhead kick in the first half but his goal was rule out for an Offside as the line man flag was up. The first half ended in a 3-0 scoreline.

The second half also began with some good moments but it was Ndala Isah who extented the lead to a disgraceful 4-0 at the 52' as the away fans lose hope.

Sulley Mohammed helped reduce the goal tally at the 65′ but it was only a consolation goal for the away team.

When we thought that the celebration hour is over Emmanuel Ogbole tap in a effortless finish after a counter attack at the 88′ to complete the 5-1 whopping of El-Kanemi Warriors.

The win took Nasarawa United to 4th while El-Kanemi Warriors maintained their 2nd position as all top three teams in Group B were being defeated on Matchday 16.
