The first half looked calm as the homers created something in the 20th minute , Timothy Idogbe, beat an offside trap to fire a close range shot that was saved by
Prime goalkeeper, Chidiebere James.
The game looked destined to end in a draw after the first stanza ended goalless with Prime dictating the pace of the game, before 3SC substitute striker, Chijoke Joseph, capitalized on a 60th minute defensive blunder to fire a low shot into the net as Oluyole Warriors supporters went into wild jubilation.
Prime responded immediately with fireworks on 3SC goalkeeper, Issah Danladi, who was forced to make great saves that denied the Omoluabi Giants a goal. Sanni Mohammed increased the lead for 3SC when he scored from a corner kick in added time.
The visitors gaffer, Abimbola Samuel, has blamed the momentary loss of concentration for his side’ 2-0 loss to Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan, in the south-west derby.
