It was another moment of glory for the history-making Ikorodu City FC as they qualified for the semi-finals of the 2025 President Federation Cup after a lone goal victory over the hard-fighting Nigeria National League (NNL) side, Wikki Tourists of Bauchi.
The tense match, however, did not pass without its moments, as two players were sent off during the match, with both Ikorodu City FC and Wikki Tourists of Bauchi having one player each sent off.
The quarter-final match, played at Bwari Stadium, saw Ikorodu City FC take the spotlight, with Shola Adelani scoring the decisive goal from the penalty spot in the second half, securing the club’s first-ever appearance in the final four since its inception.
Leonard Ngenge was sent off just after the hour mark, but Coach Nurudeen Aweroro’s side held firm to maintain their slim lead.
Ikorodu City will now face another Nigeria National League (NNL) side, Abakaliki FC, for a place in the final.
