Moses Ngbede produced a moment of brilliance to keep Crown FC’s Super 8 play-off hopes alive, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Edel FC of Anambra at Soun Stadium, Ogbomoso.
Despite a dominant display, The Ajilete Warriors struggled to find the back of the net in the first half, with multiple attempts either off target or denied by the impressive Edel FC goalkeeper.

As the match seemed destined for a goalless draw, Ngbede rose to the occasion in the dying moments, heading in a precise cross from Falolu Wasiu’s corner kick to snatch all three points in the Nigeria National League Conference A matchday nine fixture.
With this victory, Crown FC now sits at 17 points, building on their strong performance in Lagos last week, where they secured four points from two matches against Inter Lagos FC and Smart City FC. Their defensive solidity was on display again, recording another clean sheet ahead of next weekend’s crucial clash against 1472 FC in Lagos.
