In the 72nd minute and against the run of play, Seka missed a gilt-edged chance to draw the Flying Antelopes level, with only Folarin to beat.Ī goal-line clearance was all it took to deny Onuwa a goal for the second time after the attacking midfielder, in tandem with Waheed Adebayo, embarked on a smart counter-attack. Olatunbosun swung in a delightful cross but the shot-stopper was on alert with a point-blank save off the striker’s firm header. Second half substitute Chukwuka Onuwa brought some fluency into the hosts’ midfield and almost extended their lead but saw his effort sail over the bar.īamba had to be at his best to deny Akila a brace on his home debut. The environment was challenging, exhilarating, and inspiring, but it was always a journey with a purpose. When Paul and I needed to work through complex problems or take a broader view, we would set sail in the Solent on a yacht called Aquila, often in difficult weather conditions. The Olukoya Boys took the lead into the second period, which continued in the same template as the opening 45. The Latin of Aquila (genitive Aquilae) is eagle. They would, however, get a reprieve after defender Traore redirected Olatunbosun’s effort into his own net with three minutes before the interval. MFM had claims for a penalty turned down by the referee after Olatunbosun’s shot appeared to have been handled by a FC IfeanyiUbah defender in the penalty area. The hosts would pay for the miss nine minutes later after Seka drilled a firm left-footed effort past Folarin. Winger Olatunbosun failed to double the lead in the 20th minute after he miscued a lobbed effort, with only Bamba to beat. New boy, Akila beat his marker with a step over at the left side of the box before squeezing a shot past Drissa Bamba.
Instantly, the visitors saw their first chance of the game as Awazie, who left Julius Emiloju sprawling, sent a dangerous cross into MFM’s area which evaded an onrushing Solomon Nzube into the safe hands of Abayomi Folarin.įidelis Ilechukwu’s men, however, got the lead in a stunning fashion.
Akila home free#
FC IfeanyiUbah forward Ekene Awazie was shown a yellow card for tripping a marauding Sikiru Olatunbosun and the resulting free kick from Stanley Okorom missed the target by whiskers.
