Four Goals Scored, Four Points Clear: Beyond Limits Continue Title Charge

Beyond Limits increased their lead at the top of the table to four points as they made light work of Escola.

The first 20 minutes of the game were quiet, as both sides played cautiously. While the hosts were asking a few questions, the visitors were answering adequately. Coach Olumide’s men however went ahead in the 36th minute as Bilyaminu Abdullahi’s sublime finish put Beyond Limits in the lead.

Three minutes from time, it was Ayodele Adeshina’s turn to score and double the hosts’ lead. By the half-time whistle, what started as a good defensive display by Escola had capitulated. When the ref blew for the start of the second half, they still looked shaky, conceding chance after chance.

They however scored in the 74th minute to half Beyond Limits’ lead. Six minutes later, they drew level as Rasheed Jimoh rattled the net from close range after a blocked shot rebounded into his path.

Determined to get something out of the game, Coach Olumide rallied his boys and they responded. On the 86th-minute mark, Olamilekan Adegboyega restored the hosts’ lead before Adeshina Ayodele got his brace in the third minute of added time after beating the offside trap and rounding the goalkeeper.

A painful loss for the visitors as they remain in the 11th spot on the log.
