The visitors put much more pressure on their hosts in the opening minutes, resulting in a goal in the 19th minute of the game through Andrew Ikefe.

Pillars fought back in the second half, forcing the visitors to handle the ball in the six yard box which resulted in a penalty which Junior Lokosa converted in the 81st minute for the equaliser and increase his season tally to 11 goals.
