2025/2026 NLO: Hammola FC stage impressive comeback to beat ASE Ridyem FC 2-1

Posted : 28 April 2025

Hammola FC announced their arrival in the 2025/2026 Nationwide League One (NLO) season in dramatic fashion, coming from behind to edge ASE Ridyem FC 2-1 in a thrilling encounter at the Lanre Leke Sports Complex, Ile Ogbo.


Having sat out the opening day fixtures in Group A at the Osun Center, Hammola FC entered the match fresh but needed time to find their rhythm.


ASE Ridyem FC seized the early advantage when red-hot striker Afolabi Taiwo, already in fine form with two goals in two games, opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a well-taken finish.


Hammola FC responded swiftly but missed a golden chance to equalize after Sakiru struck the woodwork from the penalty spot in the 17th minute. Undeterred, Hammola kept pushing and were rewarded in the 27th minute when Awojobi Tomiwa drew them level with a composed finish.


The momentum shifted firmly towards Hammola FC six minutes later when ASE Ridyem’s defender Waliu, under pressure, turned the ball into his own net to hand the lead to the home side.


Despite relentless pressure from both sides, there were no further goals after halftime. Awojobi Tomiwa was particularly lively for Hammola FC, tormenting the ASE Ridyem defense and coming agonizingly close on multiple occasions — twice hitting the woodwork and forcing several saves from ASE Ridyem FC goalkeeper Ridwan Kazeem.


Hammola FC held on to their slender lead until the final whistle, sealing a hard-fought 2-1 victory and claiming their first three points of the campaign.


With this win, Hammola FC have made a strong statement of intent at the Osun Center, while ASE Ridyem FC will look to regroup quickly ahead of their next fixture.
