Amao Thumbs Up Omoluabi Giants As Ekelojuoti Stationery Stores To Victory

Former Kwara United and Sunshine Stars winger, Fuad Ekelojuoti, grab a brace as Prime Football Club crumbled 2-0 against Stationary Stores Football Club of Lagos.

The Flaming Flamigoes took the lead in the 45th minute after a penalty was awarded in their favour following a handball inside the box for Ekelojuoti to send Prime goalkeeper, Jimmy Bello, the wrong side.

Ekelojuoti turned the
game around, as he scored another for Stores in the 85th minute via goal-mouth-scramble.

Speaking after the match, Stores gaffer, Fatai Amao, praised his wards for the determination they shown in the game and reserve praises for Prime.

"We thank God for the victory, it was tough and our boys played with lots of determination and thank God for the needed victory," the former Super Eagles assistant coach begins.

"Prime was a hard nut for us to crack, they lost concentration which led to the penalty and I don't know why the guy could have handled the ball in the 18-yard-box."

"Prime came all out to win the game or secure a point but the first goal we scored gave us confidence to match on, but I must confess that the Prime team I saw is better than the team we played in the first leg. I saw a more stronger team and it wasn't a bad game from Prime," the former Sunshine Stars tactician stated.

However, Prime chairman, Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi, despite the 2-0 defeat eulogised his wards for good football artistry displayed against Stores and urged the players to put the defeat behind them and focus of Saturday home game against Go Round Football Club of Omoku.
