Dele Olorundare was the hero for Sunshine Stars in the game against Akwa United  as his late minute goal gave the visitors an incredible away point in Uyo.
Sunshine Stars went ahead in the 17th minute through Okiki Afolabi who got a back pass from Godspower Igudia.
Anieken Ekpe equalised for the hosts in the 22nd minute before Omoniwari’s goal in the 38th minute and Friday Ubang’s goal in the 61st minute gave United the lead.
Okiki Afolabi then scored again for the visitors in the 70th minute before the Dele Olorundare levelled up at the death.
Heartland were on the verge of winning before Wolves came out with a lot of zeal in the second half and they both shared the points.
Emeka Ogbugh netted the first goal via a wonderful free kick in the 9th minute for the visitors, and Ajoku Chidiebere extended Heartland’s lead in the 53rd minute, but the Naze Millionaires slept off as Goodluck Onamado and Shedrack Oghu levelled up for the hosts.
