Ikorodu City claimed a 2-0 victory over Kwara United in the Nigeria Premier Football League on Saturday, returning to winning ways in the league. The Oga Boys, also known as the Harmony Boys, dominated the match from the outset, taking an early lead just two minutes into the game. Salami Farouk headed home from a well-delivered throw-in by Ujunwa Elijah to give the hosts the momentum they needed.
Kwara United, struggling to contain Ikorodu City's attacking threat, conceded a second goal in the 36th minute when Ikechukwu Junior scored another well-taken header. The home side went on to hold on to their lead, with Kwara United facing a difficult second-half, culminating in Saheed Olaniyi's red card in the 86th minute. The victory is a positive sign for Ikorodu City, who have been struggling after their recent defeat to Rivers United.
Kwara United, on the other hand, will need to regroup and address their shortcomings as they aim to bounce back in their next league fixture.
