NNL: 10-man Gateway United pipped by Ijebu United

Posted : 14 April 2023
Abraham Samson's header made the difference as Gateway United were edged by Ijebu United at Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium, Ijebu Ode in the local derby.

The Toyin Ayinla-tutored side sharing same stadium with Ijebu United FC as home ground played an intense match as the visitors' goalkeeper, Araromi Ibukun was kept busy in the first 20 minutes, making three key saves to keep the hosts at bay.  

However, the match day one ``Man of the Match'' received his marching orders in the 41st minute after a mild shove on Ihemokwele Ifeanyi prior to a goal-kick over an off-the-ball bust-up.
 
As a tactical switch, second choice goalkeeper, Obiowo Victor replaced Olajide Mustapha. 

In the second half, Gateway United made a blistering start despite the numerical disadvantage and  almost took the lead on two occasions but Haruna Salifu couldn't get the ball past Sunday Odoani at his near post. 

With two minutes left, Abraham Samson broke the deadlock and put his side in front with a header at the back stick which eventually sealed a win for the hosts.

Gateway United now look forward to getting back to winning ways on Match Day 3 clash against Sporting Lagos FC on Saturday April 1, at Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium, Ijebu Ode.
