Bendel Insurance ends 28 years trophy drought, wins 2023 FA Cup
Posted : 22 June 2023
Bendel Insurance on Wednesday ended thier 28 years trophy drought as they beat hard-fighting Rangers International FC by a lone goal to win the 2023 Federation Cup.
Africa Sport Network (ASN) reports that the 2023 Federation Cup played at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba had Bendel Insurance highest goal scorer, Imade Osarenkhoe, score the only goal after Rangers International FC's Uche John had been adjudged to have handled the ball inside the 18-yard box.
John was subsequently given the marching order after a second bookable offence to reduce the Flying Antelopes to 10 men.
With the win in Asaba, Bendel Insurance have made light thier dissapointment in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Super 6 where they finished fifth and now have a shot at the continental football alongside third-placed Rivers United to compete at the CAF Confederation Cup.
The Monday Odigie-led Insurance are now 4-time winners of the FA Cup title after winning the title in 1972, 1978, and 1980 and thereby ended their long wait for a major title since 1995 when they won the West African Club Championship.
The victorious Bendel Insurance also pocketed the N15million prize, while Rangers gets N7.5m as the runners-up.
