Imperial Edge Dino in Final Day Derby

Imperial clinched third spot as they beat Dino 3-1 on Saturday. The home team came from a goal down to secure another crucial win to end the season on a high note.

The visitors got the opener in the 24th minute but the home side found a leveller just a minute after the half-hour mark through Abdulmaleek Olatunji. It was a reward for their excellent start to the game and they soon went ahead in the game through Salau Yusuf after the break in the 65th minute.

As the game was nearing its end, Adedeji Ayeoba’s boys made the points sure in stoppage time through Olatunji, who completed his brace, to help the side finish in the top three this season.
