Director of Springsoca United, Oladapo Emmanuel has reacted following the team’s victory over Broadcity Football Club in the first round of Winners Golden Bet Lagos State Challenge Cup.
Springsoca United defeated Broadcity 5-4 on penalty shootout after barren draw at the regulation time. The pulsating tie held over the weekend at Iraye Community pitch, Epe.
