Ikorodu City FC went past Crown FC with a comeback performance in the 2035 President Federation Cup round of 32 fixture to progress into the round of 16 of the tournament with a 3-1 victory.
LINEUP: James Faith; Waliu Ojetoye, Harrison Uzondu, Chibuike Oheagbulam, Leonard Ngenge; Onwe Kelechi, Salawu Yusuf, Tosin Oyedokun; Emmanuel Solomon, Alade Solomon & Shola Adelani.
It was a quiet start to the game with few chances on either end as both sides tried to get used to the pitch. However, Crown FC took the lead approaching midway into the first half and caused a spark in the game.
Waliu Ojetoye scored to bring us level with five minutes left to play in the half after slotting past the goalkeeper who expected a cross from the side.
It was a more dominant display from us in the second half with a couple of missed chances and saves from the Ajilete Warriors goalkeeper. There was however no stopping us and Salau Yusuf and Ayomide Cole cemented the win in a dominant performance over the NNL side.
With that win, we now face an even more stiff schedule as the games go into midweek of a traveled filled week ahead of the weekend in the NPFL. We will take on Beyond Limits in the next round.
