Gameday Two Filled With Surprises At The Jagaban Cup


Gameday 2 was filled with surprises. Smart City humiliated Ikorodu City at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Imperial secured massive three points against highly fancied Dino SC, The Charlesann overpowered Mavlon and 36 Lion showed no mercy to Broad City. 


The day began with Nigeria National League derby.  


Hammed Adepoju's first blood was cancelled out by Adelani Shola as the first half ended all square.


Smart pierced a sharp dagger in the heart of Oga Boys during the home stretch.


Monday Emmanuel and Ibrahim Fuad delivered crushing blows, as Chibuike Prestige was unlucky to bag an own goal in an unforgettable game for his team.


Broad City faced another tough challenge in a ding dong battle with 36 Lion. Bangoura Mohammed opened the scoring just after three minutes.  Badmus Ahmed equalized 26 minutes later. In the 44th minute, Oluwafemi Opeyemi tapped in from close range. Broad City stayed in the fight but Bangoura extinguished their hopes with the "Insurance Goal" for 36 Lion.



A beautiful solo goal from Emmanuel Stephen of Malvon distabilized The Charlesann in the third match of the day.


But The Charlesann dusted themselves and fought like Warriors. They got their victory thanks to goals from Egeonu Collins and Emma Chukwu.


10-man Imperial needed to make a statement after disappointment in their opener with 36 Lion. 


Dino never really got out the blocks. They had good possession and missed two penalty kicks.


Chidera and Musa Malik showed efficiency to give Imperial a two-goal cushion. James Okpe accounted for the consolatory strike in a dramatic end to the game.

CAF Disciplinary Committee Awards Three Points and Three Goals to Super Eagles*

Image
In a significant development, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Disciplinary Committee has awarded three points and three goals to Nigeria's Super Eagles following a disputed 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match against Libya. According to a letter signed by Ousmane Kane, Chairperson of the CAF Disciplinary Board, Libya breached Article 31 of the AFCON regulations and Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF disciplinary code. Consequently, Libya has been fined $50,000, payable within 60 days. This ruling propels the Super Eagles to the top of their qualifying group with 10 points from four matches, a comfortable four-point lead over second-placed Benin.
