Prime Football Club booked their place in Federation Cup Round of
16 after a 3-2 penalty shootout victory over Julius Atete Football Club of
Warri.
It was a dramatic evening of Fed Cup
action which was decided on sudden-death penalties as Prime goalkeeper
Ayo Ojo, secured his side victory from the spot.
J.
Atete survived defeat in the full-time by scoring a late equalizer from
goalkeeper, Edafe Vincent 86th minute penalty at the Lokoja Confluence
Stadium.
Prime having taken the lead through
Segun Eyitayo's 20th minute strike dominated proceedings with
coordinated passes and moves from Kehinde Adebayo, Olalere Akeem, Daniel
Israel and Fatai Abdullah, to end the first half with a goal lead.
J.
Atete coach, Tajudeen Lamidi, brought on Uangbaofe Emmanuel and Julius
Atete (the club President) in an attempt to offer them further attacking
impetus, but Prime defence line marshaled by Olabisi Olagunju and
Sileola Hammed, were disciplined to curtail their fireworks.
The substitutes produced a sublime effort to draw level from a 86th minute spot kick to end the game 1-1.
Ayo Ojo stole the headlines after saving 3 Atete's penalties to seal victory for the Omoluabi Giants.
Prime will lock horn against Akwa United in the round of 16 in a yet to be decided venue.
