2026 NLO Pre-Season Friendly: Grassrunner FC Shine in Commanding Victory Over House of Prayer

Posted : 20 February 2026

Ahead of the 2026 Nigeria Nationwide League One (NLO) season, Grassrunner FC delivered a statement performance with an impressive 3–1 victory over House of Prayer in a lively pre-season friendly.

From the first whistle, Grassrunner FC asserted their dominance, controlling possession and dictating the tempo of the encounter.

Their early pressure paid off when Rasaq opened the scoring with a precise and well-taken strike that left the House of Prayer goalkeeper with no chance. The goal set the tone for what would become a confident and commanding display.

Grassrunner maintained their intensity after the break, continuing to stretch their opponents with swift transitions and coordinated attacking movements.

Their efforts were rewarded in the second half when Lasisi doubled the lead. The midfielder capped off a beautifully orchestrated team move with a powerful finish, highlighting the side’s growing cohesion ahead of the new campaign.

Although House of Prayer managed to pull one goal back, their resurgence proved short-lived. Grassrunner responded decisively, and Bolutife sealed the victory with a clinical third goal.

The striker’s intelligent movement and composed finishing underscored the attacking depth within the squad.

The trio of Rasaq, Lasisi, and Bolutife stood out throughout the contest, combining effectively and consistently troubling the opposition’s defence. Grassrunner’s defensive unit also impressed, limiting House of Prayer’s opportunities and maintaining composure under pressure.

For House of Prayer, the defeat exposes areas requiring urgent attention, particularly in defence and midfield coordination. They will need to regroup quickly as preparations for the NLO season intensify.

With this result, Grassrunner FC continue their strong pre-season form and build valuable momentum heading into the league campaign.
