Eric Chelle, the head coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, took time to observe the Nigeria Premier Football League action on Tuesday, watching Ikorodu City secure an emphatic 3-1 victory over Wikki Tourists at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos.
The home side delivered a stunning first-half performance, netting three times to seize control of the match. Salami Farouk, Abayomi Ayodeji, and Joseph Arumala were the scorers for the ‘Oga Boys’, showcasing their attacking prowess.
Wikki Tourists managed to pull one back in the 65th minute through their reliable striker Jonathan Mairiga, but it was not enough to spark a comeback. The result leaves Ikorodu City in third place on the league standings, with just two matches remaining in the season, keeping their hopes of continental qualification alive.
For Wikki Tourists, who languish in 19th position, the situation is dire. They must win their final two fixtures to have any realistic chance of avoiding relegation from the top flight.
