Bauchi team, Wikki Tourists, yesterday continued their impressive run in the on-going Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) when they held hosts, Heartland, to a goalless draw in Owerri. But it was not so sweet a day for defending champions, Enyimba of Aba, who lost another game on the road, this time to struggling 3SC of Ibadan 1-0.

Enugu Rangers, who at a time were setting the pace in the race, also lost to Plateau United 2-0.

Wikki Tourists now have the same 40 points from 21 matches with Rivers United, but they sit on top of the table due to their superior goals difference.
