FC Agali recorded a 2-0 victory over FC Aiyegbeni in the first leg of their Round of 32 at Victor Agali Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Segun Alayande made the breakthrough in the 70th minute of the contest before Aliu Hassan doubled FC Agali’s advantage in the 89th minute, meaning that the Badagry side will take a two-goal lead into the second leg of the contest.
FC Agali had a golden chance to take the lead in the 22nd minute of the game but Aliu missed the spot kick.
The homers, as expected, were the team dominating possession, but FC Ayegbeni looked a big threat on the counter, with Osas Ekuase and Chinaza Onuaha leading the charge.
The away side had a chance of their own when Chinonso Sunday worked space inside the FC Agali box before attempting to beat the keeper, who was equal to the effort.
The game trully deserved a goal as it was an end to end affair.
However, at the break the scoreline was goalless draw.
The home team did make the breakthrough in the 70th minute of the contest, though, and it was not a surprise that Alayande was the player on the scoresheet.
It was a simple finish from the youngster, who converted into the net from close range after Isa Hassan flicked the ball to his path.
The Yakubu Ayegbeni mentored team managed to settle after going down to a goal, but they conceded a second in the 89th minute when Aliu’s struck to redeem himself after a first half penalty miss.
FC Ayegbeni had the opportunity to reduce the deficit but they blew it just wide of the post at injury time, leaving them in a difficult position in the tie ahead of the second leg.
