Applebee FC defeated Krypton FC 3-0 at the Campos Memorial Mini Stadium to go top of Group A due to a higher goal difference in the ongoing Lagos Liga.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Bees dominated the early proceedings of the game and produced the first shot on target when Precious Ogunyashe combined with David Onuche in the fifth minute. The resultant shot was however brilliantly saved by Konsenimola Tosin in the Krypton FC goal.
Krypton fashioned their own chance in the sixth minute when Qudus Olayiwola produced their first shot on target of the game. However, this shot was unable to trouble Eneh Samuel, who made a comfortable save.
Applebee continued to see more of the ball and mounted pressure on the Krypton FC defence. In the 17th minute, David Onuche struck from inside the box after Krypton FC gave possession away cheaply inside their own penalty area to give his team a much-deserved lead.
Krypton substitute, Olanrewaju Sanusi shot straight at Eneh Samuel in the 19th minute after being played through on goal. However, his long-range effort was comfortably saved by the goalkeeper.
Applebee FC made a substitution in the 23rd minute of the game as they looked to double their lead. Favor Anieke was replaced by Sadiq Folorunsho who found the back of the net three minutes later. The 23rd minute substitute tapped home his first goal of the tournament after David Onuche’s loose touch fell to him just inside the Krypton penalty area.
Krypton made a substitution of their own in the 27th minute when Sefiu Rahmon was replaced by Martins. Krypton FC looked to halve the deficit as Oladehinde Sheriff shot straight at Eneh Samuel from the edge of the Applebee box.
Krypton was awarded a controversial penalty in the 32nd minute when Qudus was adjudged to have been fouled in the Applebee penalty area. However, Sefiu Rahmon struck the crossbar with the resulting penalty to keep the score at 2-0.
After Rahmon’s penalty miss, Applebee continued to press for a third with David Onuche finding Sadiq Folorunsho who controlled and turned in the box but failed to beat the on-rushing Konsenimola Tosin.
In the 38th minute, Sadiq Folorunsho rounded Konseniomola Tosin and squared the ball to David Onuche who struck the crossbar with his shot.
Applebee scored a much-deserved third goal in the 39th minute via Raheem Ishola who was then taken off. Referee Gbemisola signalled the end to the game with Nnazilim Egbonu boys claiming an emphatic 3-0 victory over their group A rivals to go top.
They went on to defeat Krypton 4-3 in the penalty shootout to claim an extra point. The result leaves Krypton FC rooted to the bottom of the table while Koko FC and Jarus FC occupy second and third place respectively.
