Ikorodu United forward, Moses Ebiye, has admitted he was relieved at his side’s 3-1 victory over Heartland FC at the Agege Stadium last Saturday.
The ‘Oga Boys’ picked up the second win of the season and earned the first win in the last 12 matches.
Anthony Oussou put the away side in front after 10 minutes, benefitting from Emeka Atuloma’s assist to score with his head.
Two minutes before halftime, Moses Ebiye found Merenini Junior, who curled the ball into the corner from the edge of the box, before Ebiye tapped in after the hour to put the hosts ahead for the first time in the game.
Ifegwu Ojukwu got himself on the score sheet from the penalty spot, after a foul by Zuomana Doumbia on Ebiye. The decision also meant that the Heartland defender was dismissed.
Ebiye said: “We were solid and did not leave any gaps between defence and attack, so that benefited us.
“We started a little nervously but the equaliser settled us and I thought we had a brilliant game.
“It’s a win we must now build on to show our fans that we are on the right track.”
