Match Day 14 of the Nigeria National League unfolded at U.J Esuene Stadium in Calabar, Cross River State, pitting Rovers FC of Calabar against Madiba FC of Lagos.
In the first half, both teams exhibited high spirits in their pursuit of goal scoring, but neither managed to break the deadlock, leaving the score level at a goalless draw.
As the second half commenced, tension mounted as both home and away goalkeepers thwarted numerous goal-scoring opportunities.
