There were no goals in the first half, while at the beginning of the second half, the great Victor Osimhen decided the game with two moves.
First, in the 47th minute, he overcame the entire opponent’s defense and scored a nice header for 1-0, while ten minutes later he lucidly assisted Adams, who was the scorer for the final 2-0.
