The Benin Arsenal captain Maurice Prince put his team in front, nine minutes into the game. The hard working skipper ran into space to nod in Meyiwa Oritseweyinmi’s fine corner kick to silence the Brillars FC chants.
The lead by the Insurance however did not last long as the rampaging hosts levelled up six minutes later through Anyawu Promise strike from close range following a loose ball in Insurance defenders area.
The fifteen minutes Anyanwu Promise equaliser tied the game at 1-1 till the end of regulation period as both sides laboured without any luck in the second half of the action packed game.
Insurance remained second on the group B1 table with 25 points, still trailing Gateway Utd who also pulled away barren draw on the same day by a point.
The Benin Arsenal will be at home to host Abeokuta Stormers who also drew 0-0 with Adoration FC at the same UNEC Stadium.
