Auchi Day Football Competition resumed on the 3rd of January 2020 with a match between Utsogun and Igbei at the Ikelebe Sports’ Arena.

The Day 5 match saw Utsogun into their 4th win in a roll as they clinged another 3points to sit comfortably with a total of 12points on top of the table.

Result of the hard fought match which was marred by controversies of a possible sell out or better still an accusation of a supposed accord match coupled with bad officiating was bitterly refuted by Mr. Shaini the coach of the Igbei side. He stated emphatically, his disdain and dissatisfaction at how the referee turned a blind eye to three penalty offenses committed by the Utsogun side.

“This game is nonsense. Truth be told, since I’ve been watching football I’ve never seen this kind of a game. The central referee was the biggest problem of the match. I honestly think the game should have been disqualified because there were about three clear penalties but he didn’t give us the chance to maximize the chances the penalties would have afforded us” He said.

On his part, Sule Momodu the Utsogun Head coach, informed jeyKAD that the accusation of a sell out was a fabrication purported at distracting him and his boys.

“You can see that this is clearly not what they have insinuated. We won the match. How could we have won a match we sold out? All I know is that me and my boys are focused on winning the trophy and you can see how well we’ve played and won in all four appearances.” 

He urged all to desist from the act of proliferating fake news and focus on the games with the hope that only the best team emerges victorious at the end of the competition.

“I’m really proud of my boys. They have really stuck to the winning plan. We have pulled off a record that has never been done since the history of football in Afenmai. We’ve made four appearances and claimed victory in all four with a total of 12 points to show. I’m positive we will lift the trophy God willing.” He concluded.

Fans of the Utsogun side expressed optimism and stated that Utsogun has come to take the trophy home this time and that the games played so far are pointers towards the direction.
