Dolphins failed to build on their 1-0 win over Shooting Stars on Wednesday as they fell in Makurdi to Nasarawa United.
Dolphins started well, missing a flurry of chances through Chiwendu Ali, who shot wide from outside the box, Omoh Johnson, whose tame effort was save by the goalkeeper and Godbless Asamoah.
The home side also got into the groove midway in the first half as the trio of Esosa Igbinoba, Leonard Ugochukwu and Philip Auta put the Dolphins defence on their toes.
With the first half ending goaless, Nasarawa United started the second on a high with forays into the Dolphins box.
Their efforts paid off in the 54th minute when Esosa Igbinoba went past Dolphins captain, Festus Austin and his cross was tapped in by Leonard Ugochukwu for the first and only goal of the game.
Stanley Eguma threw in Ifeanyi Egwim for Omoh Johnson and Daniel Victor for Chiwendu Ali but the fortunes of Dolphins did not change. Dolphins next travel to Ado Ekiti for a mid-week encounter against Niger Tornadoes Feeders in the Federation Cup Round of 16.
