Nasiru Toheeb put up a man-of-the-match performance against Kwara United in the semi-final and stopped two penalties during the shoot out to help the Saraki Boys book a place in the final.

Toheeb, who was a little bit shaky in the early parts of the final later redeemed his image to help the Saraki Boys beat Gombe United.
