Dannaz Down Gbagada in Final Game of the Season

Dannaz secured fourth spot as they triumphed over Gbagada.

The home team opened the scoring in the seventh minute as Mehmud Hammed found space to run into and convert from. The early goal would end up being the only goal of the half as both sides failed to take their chances.

The Blue Eagles spent the most part of the half trying to get their acts together with little to no effort to show for it. Both sides entered into the second half the way they finished the first: A number of attempts but no goals.

Coach Akinyelu’s men would go on to get their goal in the 70th minute as Jamiu Issa converted from the near post to draw the visitors level. Despite conceding, the hosts had other ideas.

After being brought on in the second half and just as the game was headed for a draw, Emmanuel Precious turned the game on its head with his 88th minute goal. His late strike proved to be the difference at the end of the day as Coach Fatai’s lads recorded their highest-ever TCC League finish.
