Federation Cup Wrap: Kano Pillars, Rivers United, Calabar Rovers, Tornadoes through to the semi-final

Kano Pillars, Rivers United, Calabar Rovers, and Niger Tornadoes have booked their places in the semi-finals of the 2019 Federation Cup after they eliminated their opponents in the quarter-final games on Friday.

Sai Masu Gida were unlucky to lose last year's final of the competition year to Enugu Rangers after they let slip a three-goal lead before losing on penalties but they are only a game away from another final appearance after thrashing Aklosendi 4-0 at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna.

Ibrahim Musa’s men finished up the job in the first half when they raced to a 3-0 lead through the goals of Auwalu Ali Malam (17th), Rahaku Ado (35th) and an own goal from Aklosendi’s Solomon Usman in the 44th minute.
