The celebration didn’t last long as Maurice Chigozie was adjudged to have fouled Jide Williams in the box in the 19th minutes and Anas Yusuf made no mistake as he sent Goalie Adewale to the wrong direction .
A minute later Usman Musa converted a spot kick after Jide Williams pushed down Adamu Mohammed inside the box to increased the hosts tally 2 – 1.
In the fortieth minutes Yusuf Abdulazeez stroked again as he chest controlled long pass before beating Emmanuel Makama and fired a left footed shot at the bottom corner. Adamu Mohammed hard work paid off in the fifty fifth minutes when he swept in Mustapha Ibrahim’s cross from the left to increased the scoreline to four but in the process got injured.
