Football fans were held spellbound at the end of a five-goal thriller at the Agege Stadium in the Matchday 31 clash of the Nigeria Professional Football League game between MFM FC and visiting Katsina United on Monday. MFM won 3-2.
The game was originally scheduled for Sunday but was moved over to Monday when heavy rains made the Agege Stadium pitch unplayable.
It took only 15 minutes for the league's leading marksman Stephen Odey to register his 18th goal of the season.
The winning goal arrived with 11 minutes to the end. Onuwa was at the end of Olatunbosun's cross inside a crowded Katsina United box. His tap in struck the post and nestled behind Katsina United goalkeeper. The ovation that greeted the goal almost brought the roof down as relieved fans celebrated a famous win against their hard fighting visitors.
The victory moves the Olukoya Boys to second on the NPFL log with 52 points, three points adrift of league leaders Plateau United.
