2026/2027 EuroMatch NPFL Match Day 12: Inter Lagos Snatch Dramatic Derby Point Against Ikorodu City

Posted : 10 November 2026

Inter Lagos staged a dramatic late comeback to deny Ikorodu City victory, securing a 2-2 draw in an entertaining Lagos derby during Matchday 12 of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

Akinwale Oriyomi emerged as Inter Lagos’ hero, scoring in the 90+2nd minute to rescue a valuable point after the visitors had surrendered their first-half advantage.

The fiercely contested encounter at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, witnessed four goals, including two second-half penalties converted by Ikorodu City.

Inter Lagos appeared firmly in control after John Danga broke the deadlock in the 40th minute, giving the visitors a deserved 1-0 lead at half-time.

However, the Oga Boys returned from the break with renewed determination and quickly turned the contest around through Ayodeji Abayomi.

The Ikorodu City forward converted two penalties in the 59th and 63rd minutes, putting the hosts 2-1 ahead and seemingly on course for maximum points.

With time running out, Inter Lagos intensified their search for an equaliser, refusing to accept defeat against their city rivals.

Their persistence eventually paid off when Oriyomi struck deep into stoppage time, silencing the home supporters and salvaging a share of the spoils.

The late equaliser was particularly significant for Inter Lagos, who had appeared destined for another disappointing result after allowing their opponents to overturn the first-half deficit.

For Ikorodu City, Abayomi’s impressive penalty brace counted for little as their defensive concentration deserted them at a crucial moment.

The result left both Lagos clubs sharing the points in a derby that maintained its intensity until the final whistle.

Ikorodu City will rue their inability to protect their advantage, while Inter Lagos can draw encouragement from their fighting spirit as they continue their search for consistency in the NPFL. The dramatic draw ensured that neither side emerged victorious from a fiercely contested Lagos derby.
