Nath Boys FA played in an attacking style again. This team has made another statement by scoring 3 goals in the second half and beating Community Gunners FC (4-2), the 1xCup 2024 runners-up. Only a miracle can prevent Nath Boys from advancing to the quarter-finals – just look at the Group A standings. Also in this group, 36 Lions FC and Collins Edwin FA exchanged sharp attacks throughout the match, but never scored.
Another newcomer, Inspire Sport Academy, performed even better in Group D, crushing Divine Praise FC (4-0). After 3 games, ISA have 9 points and a 9-3 goal difference. Vinmo Energy FA nearly squandered a 3-goal lead against Brighton FC (4-2), but managed to edge out defending champions FC Bethel Sporting by 1 point (4 to 3). Both teams have played 2 games.
Ikorodu City FA didn’t concede again and retained their lead in Group B with 7 points, but they can hardly be satisfied with the match against underdogs G-Innovation FC (0-0). Emaljus FC, on the other hand, were up against the wall. However, the third-best team of the 1xCup 2024 managed to pull themselves together and beat Ecas FC (2-0), moving up to second place with 4 points.
ISGAT beat Soccer Cardinals (1-0) thanks to a penalty in the last minutes and earned 6 points. Dosu Joseph FA suffered a crushing defeat to Utility FC (0-3), despite attacking almost non-stop throughout the first half. The experienced team has only 1 point after 3 games. Utility FC showed patience and quickness, scoring 3 goals against Dosu Joseph in the first 15 minutes of the second half. As a result, they moved into first place in Group C with 6 points, but they have played one more match than ISGAT.
Hard to choose!
Nath Boys FA and Inspire Sport Academy have once again secured impressive victories and are very close to winning their groups.
Emaljus FC, last year’s third-best team, have finally won (in their third match), but it will be difficult for them to reach Ikorodu City FA, who haven’t conceded a single goal.
Brighton FC have scored two goals again, but have no points after two games. The team lost to Vinmo Energy FA, although they almost came back after a three-goal deficit during the match.
