Goalkeeper Ali Ishaku made headlines as Abia Warriors Football Club of Umuahia defeated Sokoto United to qualify for the semi-final of the ongoing 2024 President Federation Cup, played at the FIFA Goal Project pitch in Abuja.


Prince Okorie put the Warriors in front from the penalty spot in the 31st minute after a Sokoto United player blocked Sunday Megwo's goal-bound shot with his arm, prompting the center referee to award a penalty kick to Abia Warriors without hesitation.


Sokoto United leveled the score in the 58th minute off a goalmouth scramble after the Warriors failed to clear their lines from a free-kick.


Despite having more possession, Abia Warriors failed to score another goal, and neither did Sokoto United, leading the referee to blow the final whistle after 90 minutes.


The game went straight to a penalty shootout, where Warriors goalkeeper Ali Ishaku made a crucial save. His teammates, Prince Okorie, Collins Nwoburuoke, Adejoh Ojonugwa, Ayodele Ezekiel, and Sunday Megwo all converted their spot kicks, taking the team to the last four for the first time in the club's history.


Up next for Abia Warriors is a Nigeria Premier Football League match against Bendel Insurance in Umuahia on Sunday, 9th June 2024.
