Federation Cup defending champions Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin have bowed out of the 2024 President Federation Cup after a 0-2 loss to NNL side Wikki Tourists of Bauchi at the Abuja Center.


Second-half goals from Promise Damala (68th minute) and Owolabi Aremu (94th minute) made it a convincing win for the Tourists and marked the end of the road for the Benin Arsenals.


Promise Damala struck with a clinical free kick that went straight into the net to give the Bauchi side the lead.


It was when the coach Monday Odigie-led Benin Arsenals attempted to get an equalizer that Owolabi Aremu got the second goal to seal victory for his side.


The first half of the Federation Cup round of 32 encounter had ended goalless after strong resistance from both sides at Area 3 Field in Abuja.


The Benin Arsenals defeated Rangers 1-0 at the Stephen Keshi Stadium to win the 2023 title on their return to the Premier League after a decade in the nation's second division.


Meanwhile, as the league action resumes at the weekend, Bendel Insurance will be focusing on their next engagement, which is Matchday 33 of the Nigeria Premier Football League with Sunshine Stars of Akure on Saturday. Kick-off time is 4:00 PM at the Akure Township Stadium.


Insurance currently occupy the 8th position on the league table with 45 points, while their hosts, Sunshine Stars, are in 17th place with 39 points.
