It was show of class at the Ugheli Township Stadium as Cynosure Football Club got off to a winning start against Excellent Football Club in the Ugheli North NNL Super 4.
Excellent FC, who replaced Rovers FC Calabar unexpectedly , faced a tough test against Cynosure FC – who bossed the encounter from start to finish.
With five corners in the opening twenty minutes, the Top Dogs pilled enormous pressure on the back line of the host – forcing the opener through Michael Eze (Enyi) who hammered a header from close range – after a teasing Nze’s cross.
The goal gave room for more fluid and attacking play from Cynosure who couldn’t double the lead before the break.
Proceedings resumed in the second half with the Top Dogs picking up from where they left off. Although, Excellent FC threatened with the leveller in the 46th minute, thanks to the timely intervention of goalkeeper, Somto – who blocked heroically.
Moments later, Femi, who has got a fire in his belly – coolly doubled the lead in the 68th minute – to inflict further damage on the home side.
All seemed to be over before substitute, Handsome Surveyor put the icing on the cake for Cynosure FC from a fine finish just in the six-yard box.
