The heavy victory left Adekunle in sheer ecstacy, and the youngster disclosed that he and his colleagues are truly excited that they were able to romp into the next round of the glamorous competition.
He added: “It means a lot for us being able to move into the next round. We are now looking to know who we will play next.
“We are praying ahead that we’ll get victory again and move to the next stage.
“For now, I’m just excited that we were able to emerge into the next round. It is something that excites me.”
One of his teammates, who simply identified himself as Wasiu, disclosed that winning a 1X Bet medal made him happier than ever.
Wasiu stated: “This medal means a lot to me. I’ve never won this type of medal before in 1X Bet.
“This is the first time I’m winning big. I am so delighted and much excited.”
The competition continues into its main stage this weekend, with the organisers hyping more thrills from the crucial stage of the contest bankrolled by 1X Bet Limited.
