Emmydinho claim first win of the season

Emmydinho edged Broad City FC 2-1 to claim their first win of the TCC campaign in Ikenne on Friday.

Emmydinho came into this game on the back of a draw and a loss in their opening two games, while Broad City have a win from their first two games.

The first half between the two teams saw no goals as the defenders were on top of the situation, thwarting every attack of the attackers to keep the scoreline barren.

Just five minutes into the second half, Brain Carlos handed the hosts the lead and their first goal of the campaign. Having earlier this week relieved Ayeni Emmanuel off his duties, the team were up to the fight and kept going forward for a second goal.

Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Titus Bulus levelled for the visitors with just a minute left to play. However, Toyin Mustapha stepped up to net a stoppage time winner for the home side.

The win takes Emmydinho above Christian Ikechukwu’s side on the league standings.
