Their persistence paid off in the 69th minute when Olafisoye Olalekan inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, sparking renewed hope for a comeback.

With time running out and tension mounting, the game took a dramatic turn in stoppage time. Deep into added minutes, Adebayo Taiwo rose highest to connect with a superb header, netting a dramatic 92nd-minute equalizer that sent the game into a penalty shootout.

Riding on the momentum, Shooting Stars Team B held their nerve from the spot, edging City Pride FC 4-3 to seal a memorable victory.

They will now advance to the next round, where a highly anticipated clash against Oye Olohun FC awaits on April 21.
