Oyo, Lagos Picks South West Zone Ticket

Oyo State Team defeated Ogun and Ondo State to lead group B at the ongoing Zonal qualifiers for the 1st edition of the President's Cup at Akure Sports Stadium, Akure. 

The Oyo State team who are the defending champions of the DAWN Games in their first match yesterday defeated the host State, Ondo by three goals to one before stopping Ogun State who they defeated by two unreplied goals to top their group with six maximum points. 

Lagos State who paraded one of the youngest team here in Akure defeated Osun State in their first match with two goals from Chike Egeonu to stop the boastful Osun boys who had earlier on Monday defeated Ekiti State 2-1.

 Chike Egeonu was again the hero of the Lagos second match when he rose from the bench in the second half of the match against Ekiti state to score three goals with supply from Adewale Lasisi and Ahmed Solaja. 

Speaking after the match head coach of Team Lagos, Olatunde Lawson expressed satisfaction with the performance of his boys. 

But he was quick to point out the quality of their opponents, saying the teams are not that bad, but maybe they lack quality preparation. 

He revealed that they are going back to the drawing board to prepare for the National finals holding later this month.
