A goal by Ghanian Paul Acquah in the first half was all the Promise Keepers needed to inflict a third consecutive defeat on the Solid Miners in Uyo.

Acquah's goal came in the 34th minute of the goal after half-hour dominance by the host in the match day 12 encounter.

The former Rivers United player headed in the ball from a follow-up after an initial attempt at goal by Kabir Osoba.

Goalkeeper Hakeem Otuyiga made two fine saves to keep the score 1-0 in favour of the host at halftime.
