FC Ebedei, Beyond Limits Share Spoils In 4-Goal Thriller

 

It was fireworks at the FC Ebedei Stadium, as Beyond Limits came from behind to share the spoils with their local derby rivals The Oliseh Boys in a four-goal thriller.

The Optima Energy Gold Cup Matchday 2 fixture between both teams produced four sublime goals, with two each scored in both halves.

It was end-to-end football and high pressing from both teams as they searched for the first goals.

Credit to the goalkeepers for their bravery in goal, as they gave fans a lot to cheer with a few superb and point-blank saves they made at both ends.

FC Ebedei drew first blood after its lanky striker Chime Chinedu put them ahead in the 11th minute, with a beautiful strike from an intelligent dummy he sold to Beyond Limits defenders 

FC Ebedei's lead didn't last for more than eight minutes, as Ogbonnaya Sunday put the game on level terms after a fine finish.

It was a more electrifying second half, with both teams going close to adding to their tallies but the boys in between the goalposts kept it clean not until the 71st minute.

Odekunle Musiliu made the difference after he doubled the lead for FC Ebedei with a lovely tap-in to the anguish of Beyond Limits.

With victory certain for the home team, there was a moment of carelessness from FC Ebedei, as they got a player sent off by the referee for his unsportsmanlike attitude in the final minutes of regulation time.

Beyond Limits then pushed themselves to the limits as substitute Peter Adejimi got the equalising goal in the second minute of added time, to the delight of his team.
