Fans at the Obafemi Awolowo University Sports Complex were not left out of the Premier Cool freestyle challenge when OAU Giants beat LASU Blazers 2-0 in the first-leg of the Higher Institution Football League (HiFL) quarter-final fixture.
Opeyemi Adeyemi bagged a brace in the encounter to power Chike Egbunu-Olimene’s 10-man team past the Blazers in a thrilling atmosphere swamped by noise from the home supporters.
OAU Giants were reduced to 10 men in the first half after Toba Muraina was given his marching orders but his sending off could not deter the hosts from grabbing a first-leg advantage.
