An Akuonoghae Osas’s own goal and Imade Osavenkho screamer helped Bendel Insurance to a 2-0 victory over Remo Stars at the Stephen Keshi Stadium on Thursday.
The Sky Blue Stars handed teenager Onyebuchi Obasi his official debut and the young lad instantly showed some flashes when he set up Fawas Otu who could not direct his effort on target.
The “Benin Arsenal” as Bendel Insurance are popularly known dominated possession from the middle of the park.
Their sexy football produced the first goal of the game when Akuonoghae Osas poorly diverted Abachiye Gyenimi’s cross into his own net.
Imade Osavenkho rounded up proceedings with a well taken acrobatic goal after connecting to Odinaka Edeh’s long thrust.
