We defeated Kun Khalifat FC of Owerri 2-0 on matchday eleven of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League season stretching our league unbeaten run to six games and yet to be defeated at home this season.
LINE-UP: Michael Atata; Junior Christian, Alfred Odinaka, Gift Udoh, Waliu Ojetoye; Dagogo Ibifubara, Tomisin Adebayo, Folarin Temitope, Joseph Arumala, Naheem Odugbemi & Oparaocha Chidera.
The opening minutes saw us dominate from the start, dictating play and creating a few chances. Tomisin had two of his efforts saved before Folarin almost caught the goalkeeper out with a freekick routine.
We broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark, when Chidera Oparaocha headed in from Joseph Arumala’s corner. Both players involved in goalscoring for the second consecutive home game with Chidera scoring in both.
We kept pressing for a second but the first half ran out with a 1-0 lead into the break. Tosin Oyedokun returned from an injury spell and came on for the first time in three weeks as a half time change.
We grabbed a second goal on the hour mark and it was an academy graduate making his mark as a senior player. Dagogo Ibifubara hit a long range strike off the run of play that beat the goalkeeper after taking a slight touch on its way. It’s a first topflight goal for the midfielder and the first at senior level.
More changes took place as we looked to see out the game. Rasheed Owolabi was introduced as well as Uche Jaguar as the game ended in a 2-0 win.
