The match, played at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, saw Ikorodu City FC start firing on all cylinders.


What made the match so unique was the fact that, for the first time in their NPFL debut, the Oga Boys scored an early goal.


Defender Tosin Oyedokun registered his first goal in the NPFL within the 3rd minute after a delightful pass from Salau Yusuf.


The visitors, Promise Keepers, showed a glimpse of resistance as they leveled in the 35th minute.


The Oga Boys, however, restored their lead in the 47th minute as a brilliant chest-down from the first goal scorer, Oyedokun, set up Emmanuel Solomon, who finished with a fantastic effort.


Just a minute after the second half began, Ikorodu City FC's Olatunji Abdulmalik announced his arrival into the season with his first NPFL goal in the 46th minute.


Ikorodu City FC had a chance to increase the scoreline in the 38th minute, but Tosin’s effort was well saved. Later, Waliu Ojetoye was unable to find his man after a great run in the 55th minute.


However, Ayomide Cole wasn’t done with the scoreline, scoring in fantastic fashion to register his second back-to-back goal. Olatunji Abdulmalik provided the assist.


With this outstanding result, Ikorodu City FC now sits among the continental contenders in third position on the NPFL log.


Speaking after the match, the team's coach, Nurudeen Aweroro, said his team's ambition for greatness is becoming a reality.


“We performed very well today, and I want to commend the boys for a job well done.  


“I think we should focus more on our games and not on chasing the continental slot, which could ruin the game plan,” he said.
