Crown Football Club of Ogbomoso on Monday in Lagos secured a 2-1 victory over hosts Stationery Stores FC in a Nigeria National League (NNL) Match Day 4 fixture.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that in the testy match played at the Agege Stadium the Ajilete Warriors were recording their first away victory in the new 2019/2020 season.
Stationery Stores opened scores through Ifeanyi Iheme in the 30th minute, as they dominated possession and buzzed around the opponents’ area to create chances for themselves.
More goals however refused to come, until the visitors made use of a dead-ball situation when Sunday Odudu noded in Taiwo Rafiu’s free-kick to restore parity in the 35th minute.
Odudu completed his brace in the 85th minute when he once again nodded in another free-kick, this time from Muazu Taiwo in the 85th minute.
Speaking after the match, Oyo State’s Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Segun Fakorede, said the visiting team deserved going home with the game’s maximum points after a spirited display.
“We deserved to win this match because we played better. I wish the team more success,” he said.
Also, Odudu said he had begged God for goals and he eventually got them during the game.
“When we were leaving Ogbomoso, I prayed to God to please let me score a goal and not put me to shame.
“God answered my prayers and gave me two goals because I was not to be put to shame,” he said.
