NLO Pre-season: Adebayo's Brace Inspire Magate to a comeback victory over Big Daddy Academy

Nationwide League One Division One side Magate Football club continued preparation ahead of the NLO 2020/2021 Season as they came from behind to beat Big Daddy Academy 4-3 in their second tune up game played today at the club's training ground, Supreme Distilleries Field Iju Ota Ogun State.

 



Big Daddy Academy were the brightest of the two sides in the first 15th Minutes of the encounter going 2-0 up after nine minutes, forcing Coach Umar Farouq into an early defensive substitution for Magate FC.

 

After going 2-0 up Big Daddy Academy took their foot of the pedal as the NLO side stepped up the tempo with Adebayo Rasaq reducing the deficit in the 35th minutes as he headed home from close range.

 

Big Daddy Academy regained their two cushion just after Magate had pulled one back following a defensive hola, but Magate reduced the goal tally through John Daniel coverted from the spot to make it 3-2 just before the break, after captain Akinboboye Abiola had fouled just inside the opponent box.

 

Magate began the second half a more improved side, as Adebayo Rasaq completed his brace as he headed home from Francis cross off the conner kick to restore parity. The home team came close to taking the lead minutes after as Akinboboye Abiola's strike hit the woodwork after dazzling past three defenders before unleashing a sublime strike just at the edge of the box only for the woodwork to denied him on that occasion.

 

Akinboboye Abiola finally got his goal late into the game as he headed in a deflated cross from Shuib Ibrahim to give Magate the lead in what proved to be the winner, 4-3 it ended.

 

It is the first Victory for the NLO side after the post covid19 break after having played a 1-1 draw against Ileogbo United few days ago.

It was a resounding victory for the Dream team as they overturned a two goal deficit suffered in the first leg. Coach Imama Amapakabo left no stone unturned as he rejigged the squad that went down in Tunis by drafting in Francis Uzoho, Osimhen, Chidozie Awaziem and Valentine Ozoruwafor from the Super Eagles to the Olympics team. It was a tedious opening 20 minutes as the Dream team struggle to find the openings while the Libyans  comfortably held on to their defensive strategies in the scorching 33°c weather temperature in Asaba. Taiwo Awoniyi failed to capitalize on a gifted opportunity in the 14 minutes as the Libyan goalkeeper parried Nwakali's freekick to his path at a close range. But Osimhen broke the deadlock in the half-hour mark when he pounce on a rebound as the Libyan goalkeeper failed to deal with another Nwak...
