Kano pillars came close on the 44th minute but their striker failed to convert chances through a wasteful play to keep the game on.

 

Rabiu Ali of Kano Pillars came close in the added minutes of the first half but failed to dribble his opponent in a long cross which made the centre referee call it quitS after exhausting two minutes added time.

When the game resumed in the second half, Yusuf Sadeeq, solo strike gave Sunshine star the lead in the 48th minute.

 

The two teams who showed class in the encounter to outsmart each other saw goal scorer Sadeeq miss a beautiful chance at the 58th minute of the game to extend his team lead.

 

In a bid to come back to the game, Kano Pillar at the 67th minute made three quick substitutes, Kokoette .U., Mallam .A. and Mustapha but that didn’t change the tempo of the quarter-final game as Sunshine kept mounting pressure to double their lead.
