Ifeanyi Mathew scored Pillars consolatory goal via goal mouth sramble in the 45th minute.
The 2012 Federation Cup giant killers fought so hard and defended so well in the second half to ensure Pillars trio Rabiu Ali, Prince Aggreh and Gambo Mohammed from wrecking havoc.
It will be recalled that the Nigeria National League (NNL) side, defeated Kano Pillars 3-1 on penalties in the third place of the 2012 Federation Cup in Lagos after the regulation time ended 1-1.
