Arguably, UNILAG Marines dominated most parts of encounter and came close to scoring on a number occasions, only to see all of efforts on goal denied by Isaac Philip, AAUA Luminaries goalkeeper who was outstanding throughout the match.
However, AAUA Luminaries managed to find the back of the net towards the end of the match but luck wasn’t on their side as it was ruled out as outside by the assistant referee.
