Niger Tornadoes and Kano Pillars have secured berths in the 2019 Federation Cup final following their victorious outings on Thursday in Lagos and Markurdi respectively.
While Tornadoes pulled off an upset in Lagos; beating Rivers United 2-1 at the Agege Stadium, Pillars were pushed to the wire before overcoming Calabar Rovers 4-2 on penalties after the Nigeria National League side had forced them to a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
In the sémi-final at the Agege stadium, it was Rivers United that struck first in the 11th minute through Kehinde Adedipe before Eric Frimpong equalised for the Ikon Allah Boys five minutes later.
