In the 18th minute, captain of the side, Nelson Esor blasted home from a well taken cross delivered by Dominic Junior.
It was Dominic Junior who turned scorer in the 42nd minute when he latched on a defense splitting pass from Stanley Worlu, stylishly beat the goalkeeper and then scored to the delight of the fans.
Top scorer of the side, Ekunta Etenfa replaced Dominic Junior at the start of the second half but it was Chibueze Ebejuo who out of nothing beat the offside trap to shoot beyond goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali to make the scoreline a bit more decent.
