LAGOS, NIGERIA — The scorching West African heat was nothing compared to the blistering, star-studded performance produced by Ikorodu City FC on Tuesday afternoon.
In a Matchday 36 encounter that had everything—breathtaking goals, high-stakes continental drama, and international royalty in the directors’ box—the “Oga Boys” firmly announced themselves on the big stage.
They dismantled a struggling Wikki Tourists FC side 3-1 at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos.
This was no ordinary Tuesday afternoon kick-off. Watching closely from the stands was none other than the newly minted Super Eagles head coach, Éric Chelle.
The national team boss was in town to scout local talent, and the stars of Ikorodu City did not miss the chance to audition.
Under the watchful eye of the Frenchman, Ikorodu’s brightest young starlets put on a footballing clinic that left the visitors chasing shadows.
