Posted : 13 November 2026

Collins Edwin SC emerged champions of the 21st Lagos Supremacy Cup after edging Beyond Limits FA 1-0 in a keenly contested final at the Legacy Pitch, National Stadium, Surulere, on Thursday.

Jimoh Abdulrasheed scored the decisive goal in the 23rd minute to hand Collins Edwin the prestigious grassroots title and end Ikorodu City's reign as champions.

The midfielder capitalised on a swift attacking transition to fire his team ahead, with his effort ultimately separating both sides in an entertaining encounter watched by international football scouts and prominent dignitaries.

Beyond Limits, who topped Group A, pushed relentlessly for an equaliser but struggled to break down a disciplined Collins Edwin defence.

Their best opportunity in the first half came in the 35th minute when Oyeniran Peter's attempted chip from close range narrowly missed the target.

Collins Edwin also threatened to extend their advantage after the break, but Obiora Sunny's layoff to Francis in the 56th minute ended with the forward blasting his effort over the crossbar.

The contest reached its most dramatic moment in the 59th minute when Beyond Limits' leading scorer, Memud Olamilekan, came close to restoring parity.

However, Collins Edwin goalkeeper Ademola Elebiju produced an excellent save to preserve his team's slender advantage until the final whistle.

Earlier, Ikorodu City FC claimed the bronze medal after producing an impressive comeback to defeat 36 Lion FC 4-1.

36 Lion took an early lead through Chisom Onyenuforo in the fifth minute, but Ikorodu City responded six minutes later through Peter Joshua.

Ihwuhwvabe Sylvester completed the turnaround in the 29th minute before Joshua grabbed his second goal in the 40th minute.

Awojobi Tomiwa then sealed the emphatic victory in the 48th minute to ensure Ikorodu City finished third.

Collins Edwin, who qualified for the final as Group B winners on goal difference ahead of Ikorodu City, capped an impressive campaign by dethroning the defending champions.

The final also attracted considerable international attention, with Brazil's Ambassador to Nigeria, Ronaldo Lima, serving as Special Guest of Honour and presenting the trophy to the victorious captain.

The trophy presentation featured LASU's Trophy Queen, Christianah Sohe, alongside eight-year-old trophy escort Aleem Olanrewaju.

International scouts in attendance included Cem Sagar of Diamond Sports Management, Bruno Morimoto of Elenko Sports, Bence Gulácsi of Debrecen, Andre Velloso of Atletico Mineiro and Boliva Lima of Goztepe, Turkey.

The occasion also attracted prominent political figures, including Musiliu Obanikoro, Rasaq Ajala, Orekoya, Alabi Kolade David, Bamgbose, Samuel Sejoro, Barrister Ajala, RAK Ogunlende, Olanrewaju Oshun, Bolaji Yusuf, Sunday Ojelabi, Kunle Dabiri and Agboola Dabiri.
