Sporting Lagos FC are 2023 Naija Super 8 champions

Posted : 17 July 2023
The Noisy Lagosians on Sunday in a hard-fought contest earned a 4-2 win over Remo Stars via penalty shootout to win the first edition of the Naija Super 8 trophy.

Sporting Lagos FC had played a 1-1 draw at the regulation time after which the testy match was decided by penalty shootout at the fully-packed Mobolaji Johnson Arena Stadium, Onikan on Sunday.

Aliu gave Sporting Lagos the lead in the 52nd minute after the first half ended goalless.

Adams Olamilekan thought he had restored parity for Remo Stars with four minutes to go only for the goal to be chalked off for being offside.

The Sky Blue Stars would not give up and their persistency was rewarded with Olamilekan again finding the back of the net in the 93rd minute to send the tie straight into penalty shootout.

The newly-promoted NPL side won the shootout 4-2 to emerge Champions of the maiden edition of the Naija Super 8 competition.

The Noisy Lagosians as they are fondly called will coast home with a cash prize of N25m, while Remo Stars will be rewarded with N9m.

Remo Stars have now failed to win their first two matches against Sporting Lagos, with the first match ending 2-1 in favour of the Paul Offor-led team.
