We returned from Delta with our first away win of the season after a convincing 2-0 victory over Warri Wolves in Ozoro in the Nigeria Premier Football League match day twelve fixture.
LINE-UP: Michael Atata; Junior Christian, Alfred Odinaka, Gift Udoh, Waliu Ojetoye; Dagogo Ibifubara, Tomisin Adebayo, Folarin Temitope, Joseph Arumala, Naheem Odugbemi & Goodluck Anuba.
Settling into the game at the start wasn’t quite difficult as we had two chances in the first quarter of an hour. Folarin had his effort saved as Tomisin also tried to test the keeper.
We took the lead in the 19th minute eventually as Tomisin headed in a cross from Folarin off the run of play. A goal that marked our dominance in the game, a first of the season for the midfielder Tomisin Adebayo as well.
The remainder of the half was about managing the game and keeping the lead as the home side tried to equalize. We however had the last say of the half when Goodluck Anuba doubled our lead with a quick strike off a turn after Joseph Arumala headed down a cross from Waliu Ojetoye.
With a two-goal lead in the game, the second half was certainly going to be heated as Warri Wolves came out with purpose. With Tosin Oyedokun coming on amongst others, we tried to steady the ship.
Warri Wolves came forward a couple of times, forcing Michael Atata to brilliant saves multiple times in the half, keeping the score the same and the clean sheet intact as we finished with a 2-0 victory.

We return home to face the Peace Boys, Plateau United on Sunday 16th November, 2025 as we look to extend our unbeaten run, win streak, clean sheet run amongst many other things.
