Nigeria National League promotion major contender, Crown FC of Ogbomoso on Saturday beat their counterpart from Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, FC One Rocket 2-0 to boost their chances with two league matches to end the football season of the 2021/22 Nigeria National League. Crown FC were caged and denied access into the final area at the first half and they were largely restricted to pot shots from distance.

Yusuf Taiye, Dauda Olalere and Fabode Olaitan went close on three occasions, while Seyi Okeowo saw a low shot come back off the base of the left-hand post in first-half stoppage time.

As Crown FC continued to labour in the second period, Head Coach Anthony Encho introduced Fredrick Etta and Igwe Uzo from the bench, and shortly after this, the homers made the breakthrough.

Crown FC second top scorer, Yusuf Taiye put the Ajilete Warriors in control at the 73rd minute in a tension soaked encounter held at the LAUTECH Sports Complex, Ogbomoso.

Oginni Olatunbosun got on the score-sheet ten minutes after Yusuf Taiye opener from the spot through an assist from Yusuf Taiye to end the match two-nil win.

After the match, Anthony Encho told media correspondents “We played in a very professional way and controlled the game for most of the time. FC One Rocket fought in the first half and we were denied access into their area. In the second half, we created chances, made some tactical decisions and we got two good goals because we must get three points and keep pushing.”

“Our next match is against Warri Wolves, people may see it as difficult but football is full of surprises. With today’s performance, I trust in God.”
