As the fight for supremacy continues in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), table toppers, Plateau United and Lobi Stars shared the spoils in matchday 21.

Both sides failed to score a goal as the game ended in a barren draw.

Leaders Plateau United had stepped off the position a couple times this season to Lobi, but successfully took home a point from Sunday’s encounter at the Aper Aku Stadium in Makurdi.

The hosts dominated play but were unable to break down the visitors, as the draw caused them to sink to third spot on the table, with an inferior goal difference to second-placed Rivers United.
