The first chance of the match was created by the home side, as they
tried to loft the ball over Chigozie Agbim but the attempt went
harmlessly over the crossbar.
The Ajilete Boys went ahead just after the 37 minute mark when Nnedum
took a touch before striking the ball, with the ball dipping into the
net, leaving Agbim hopeless.
Maurice Cooreman's half-time team talk clearly had an impact, as his Gombe side came out with more purpose.
The away team were given hope of a comeback in the 56th minute, as a
penalty was conceded by goalscorer Nnedum. Sulaiman Usman had the
chance to level matters from the spot, but he failed to convert, leaving
the Belgium-born coach in a tensed situation.
Crown were under increasing pressure late on but they managed to hold on to take all three points.
