Ikorodu
United played its fourth home draw of the season in a Match day 16 of the
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after they played a 2-2 draw
against Plateau United at the Onikan Stadium on Wednesday.
Twenty
minutes into the game, Ikorodu United took the lead via penalty through Ojukwu
Ifegwu, who netted his fifth goal of the season.
Isah Danladi
was the busier goalkeeper when all effort by Kabir Balogun , who scored
the second goal was made abortive by the
experienced goalkeeper.
Five minutes
to the end of first half witnessed the desperation for goal by Zackare Baraje's
side through Victor Namo but his effort from a close range went over the bar.
Ikorodu
United ended the first half with a goal lead which prove not satisfactory to
the fans .
The second
half was evenly balanced until Plateau United equalised through Junior Salomon,
fifteen minutes later Kabir Balogun restored the lead to excitement of the home
fans.
But a poor
goalkeeping error by goalkeeper Segun Fatunwase gave the away team their second
goal of the game.
With the
defence in disarray, Itodo waltzed his way in. Fatunwase leapt off his line
when staying home would have served him better, but he failed to commit fully
and substitute Ibeh had the easiest of tasks to poke the ball in from close
range.
Ten minutes
to the end of regulation time, Salomon Junior of plateau united was shown a red
card after receiving his second yellow for a hard tackle.
The draw
keeps Ikorodu United rooted to the bottom of the table, and Plateau a united
celebrating a point gained on the road.
Ikorodu
United next match will be away to Enugu Rangers in Enugu.
