Sokoh Estate FC 1 – 0 Lord Mark FA

Sokoh Estate FC (SEFC) secured a narrow 1–0 win over Lord Mark FA (LMFA) in a tense and physically demanding encounter.

SEFC started with a promising free-kick opportunity but failed to convert. Both sides struggled to establish rhythm, often settling for speculative shots whenever space opened. The LMFA goalkeeper had a shaky moment when he spilled a shot but quickly recovered, later making a brave 1v1 save to keep the game level.

SEFC’s goalkeeper was equally occupied, producing several key stops—including one following a disputed penalty call. SEFC’s repeated unnecessary fouls allowed LMFA to stay dangerous, and the first half ended 0–0.

The second half mirrored the first with both teams battling for control. SEFC ramped up the pressure but still looked vulnerable to counterattacks. A wild sequence decided the match: SEFC missed a clear chance, LMFA countered and missed an even bigger opportunity, and from the resulting break, SEFC launched forward to score. The LMFA keeper will rue the moment as the tame effort slipped through his hands and into the net.

By Chimaobi Jose Nzoromobi  Warri billionaire businessman and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Chief Ayiri Emami, has revealed he advised former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick, not to locate the FIFA Forward Project stadium in Ugborodo, Delta State.

Chief Emami stressed that his position was guided by developmental reasoning and the need to ensure the project’s success, rathe...
