The 2025 Lagos Supremacy Cup exploded back to life, delivering a feast of high drama, spectacular football, and the late-game heroics fans crave. The high stakes drew a significant contingent, including 10 international scouts gathered at the Legacy Pitch, all watching for the next breakout star.
IKORODU CITY MAKES A STATEMENT
The day’s action began with a bang as Ikorodu City delivered the first emphatic statement, showing no mercy in a dominant 3-0 thrashing of Dosu Joseph FC. The ‘Oga Boys’ midfield and attack were simply relentless. Goals from the formidable trio of Samuel Ezekiel, Shittu Hameed, and Oladimeji Dada ensured a commanding performance and claimed all three crucial points.
HEARTBREAK AND HEROICS IN A FIVE-GOAL THRILLER
The intensity ratcheted up in the clash between 36 Lion and Mavlon—a truly back-and-forth, dramatic encounter. 36 Lion appeared to be on a comfortable path following a clinical brace from Seun Lawal. However, the match was dramatically flipped on its head. Elisha Ephraim narrowed the gap, igniting a powerful Mavlon comeback that culminated in Sunday Emmanuel coolly converting his penalty rebound to sensationally level the score. Just as a hard-fought draw seemed certain, late heartbreak struck Mavlon. In the final, decisive moments, Alex John emerged as the undisputed hero, netting the stunning winning goal to snatch a breathless victory for 36 Lion.
CHAMPIONS SHOW THEIR CLASS
The marquee fixture of the day pitted defending champions Beyond Limits against the strong challenge of Tripple 44. The champions reaffirmed their pedigree and class. With decisive strikes from Akinocho Merveille and Daniel Arierhi, Beyond Limits secured a well-deserved and dominant 2-0 victory. The win keeps their perfect start to the tournament intact, sending a clear message to their title rivals.
