Kun Khalifat FC rescued a point in dramatic fashion after Ebuka Okoro converted a stoppage-time penalty to secure a 1-1 draw against Kano Pillars in their EuroMatch Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 12 encounter in Owerri.

Kano Pillars appeared set to claim a valuable away victory after former NPFL top scorer Sikiru Alimi put the visitors ahead in the 74th minute.
