MFM HOLDS FIRST BACK, SHOOTING STARS BACK ON TOP…WIKKI OVERTAKES MIGHTY JETS IN DIVISION A
Mountain of Fire and Miracle (MFM) Football Club of Lagos did not need any miracle to force city rivals, First Bank to 1-1 draw in an epic encounter played at the magnificent turf of Agege Stadium near Ikeja at the weekend.
It was a match which the host would have wrapped up in the first have but poor marksmanship ensured that both teams shared the spoils even as MFM came from behind to pick a point.
First Bank had scored an early goal no thanks to a defensive mix-up following what MFM defenders taught was an offside play but the referee and his First Assistant referee adjudged it a fair-play and that allowed the First Bank attacker to slot in from the near post.
The unexpected goal forced MFM to swoop on their opponents and forcing them to retreat to defend their post, a strategy which nearly cost them dearly when a desperate First Bank goalkeeper fouled MFM attacker in the box but the resultant penalty was wasted.
The introduction of MFM skipper, Yemi Oladejo early in the second half turned things around for the home team and it was not long before the playmaker initiated a move which led to the equalizer by MFM.
Elsewhere, Shooting Stars of Ibadan which defeated Ekiti United 2-0 to garner 19 points to overtook Gabros International with 17 points even as Abia Comets has also notched up 19 points to compete with the top leaders.
Meanwhile, Wikki Tourists have returned to the top Division A after a 2-0 victory over Kogi United in Bauchi just as Adamawa and Plateau United have joined Mighty Jets of Jos on 19 points to trail Wikki with only one point more that the three clubs.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re back to winning ways as Rovers are rolled into the Lagoon!
On an evening Stationery Stores FC needed to do a few things that had little or no room for errors, the team performed to the delight of a respectable crowd of supporters at The Flaming Arena. What were those things? Well, it needed to subject its new team to real match conditions and come out of it unscathed.
It needed to introduce its new coach to the Lagos fans and it needed to re-assert its authority on the Onikan Waterfront in order to send a warning to other teams who will visit the Arena henceforth.
Indeed Stores FC succeeded in doing all of those within a space of 92 minutes…ninety minutes of playing time plus two extra minutes added by the match officials. It “rolled” UNICEM Rovers FC into the Lagoon opposite the stadium—just as its vociferous fans asked it to do—sinking the visitors from Calabar by two goals to nothing.
It did so parading several new players who re-enacted the tiki-taka brand of soccer that the Adebajo Babes are famed for and to the delight of the impressively filled stadium.
Then it fronted Fatai Amoo, its new coach, to the media and the fans, in what ostensibly is a warning to the other NNL teams that the Flaming Flamingoes are bouncing back under the tutelage of one of the most tactically gifted gaffers on the Nigerian soccer scene. Stationery Stores Football Club is back to winning ways and in the words of Fatai Amoo at the post match conference, “it is going to fight for every single point remaining in the season.”
