The visitors had capitalized on a defensive blunder to score from a close range.

Five minutes later, Michael Ohanu level the scoreline from a clinical finish to the admiration of the spectators at the stadium.

Kwara United took the lead a minute into second half through a spot kick cleverly converted by Segun Alebiosu.

Harmony Boys' Sunday Odudu had been brought down by a Zamfara United defender to win the penalty.

The host came out stronger in the second half while the John Obuh wards showed better understanding to half time talk than their visitors.

The persistent pressure by the home team paid off when James Chinedu put the match beyond the visitors with another goal in the 78th minute.
