For one of the the first times Heartland FC found themselves in a winning position away from home, they ended up losing the match.

The game away at Niger Tornadoes saw the hosts take an early lead at the 11th minute, but Heartland FC equalized and took the lead in 2 minutes.

Goals from Clement Junior Ogbobe and George Jenom in the 34th and 36th minutes of the first half looked like it was going to hand the visitors their first away victory of the season, but Mohammed Hussaini leveled for the hosts 2 minutes before halftime.
