Just as the mid week matches were being decided, or­ganizers of the league, the League Management Company (LMC) opted to spoil their headline sponsor, Globacom with 95, 000 popular terrace match tickets and 9, 500 re­served terrace access cards.
Lobi Stars of Makurdi playing at home also recorded a 3-0 victory over Bayelsa United, while defending cham­pions, Kano Pillars and 3SC got a result, courtesy of late penalties. Pillars were awarded an 80th minute penalty that saw them beat Heartland of Owerri by 2-1, while Shooting recorded 2-1 victory over Wikki.
The LMC stated that the customized cards exclusively produced for Globacom was in furtherance of the League’s renewed commitment to delivering world class hospitality services to sponsors of the league.
The tickets, printed in fine quality stationery allows in­stant passage to any Glo Premier League match by holders.
It would be noted that the average attendance at Glo Premier League games had risen from about 2, 500 in the 2013/14 season to over 6, 000 this season, a development informed observers attributed to reforms, which the LMC initiated and began implementing since the 2012/2013 sea­son.
