A Lucky Martins brace helped Awoba FC to a 4-2 victory over Rumuowha FC in the opening match of the much-talked-about Brown Ideye Challenge.
Nigeria Professional Football League Legend, Victor Ezeji officially set the ball rolling with the first kick of the tournament, after which spectators got treated to an intriguing affair, regardless of the heavy downpour in the second half.
With goals from Captain, Fiafiaene Sabbath and Lucky Martin, Awoba FC were 2-0 up at the break. On resumption, they extended their lead before Rumuowha pulled two back.
However, a comeback for Rumuowha FC was not to be. Instead Awoba added a fourth.
