…While Obinna Otu leads the goals chart with a double
The first day of the inaugural African Football Holding (AFH) pre-season tournament in Sagamu produced a series of entertaining results, with five goals scored.
The round saw wins for Eko United and FC Ebedei as Obinna Otu scored a first-half brace for the Oliseh Boys in a stunning upset over Sunshine Stars.
Eko United beat Grassrunners JNR 2-0. Olalere Dauda opened the scoring in the 8th minute against the run of play, before Agada Solomon scored an own goal with a poor clearance under pressure.
The second 45 minutes were even, with Grassrunners JNR indebted to goalkeeper Labode Nicolas for his heroic saves.
The match between FC Ebedei and Sunshine Stars was a thriller and a game of two halves, which saw two brilliant goals from Otu in just over 18 minutes of the first half.
Muritala Quadri and Otu combined well to score FC Ebedei’s first goal in the 22nd minute. Quadri also provided the assist for the second, when Otu found the top corner to make it 2-0.
Sunshine Stars got a goal back thanks to a goal from Udeme on Sunday.
The action continues on Friday, with Group B clashes between FC Ebedei Sports College and Grassrunners FC at 9am, while Crown FC host Ikorodu City FA.
