Ikorodu City FC’s turnaround in form highlights the positive impact of changes made within the team. Back to back victories and their climb off the bottom of the NPFL table are a testament to the efforts of the players and the coaching staff. It is clear that the team has found new momentum and belief, and this could be a pivotal moment in their season.

Two quick goals in the first half from Salau Yusuf and Emmanuel Solomon gave Ikorodu City a 2-0 lead. However, a brief lapse in concentration allowed Lobi Stars to equalize before halftime through a brace from Assurance Ifeanyi. In the second half, Ikorodu City regained control with goals from Alade Solomon and Rivo Ayemwenre, sealing the win and leaving Lobi Stars at the bottom of the table.

On the other hand, Lobi Stars and coach Daniel Amokachi are facing a difficult period. With the team winless under his leadership and now at the bottom of the table, urgent changes are needed to reverse their fortunes. Football can be unforgiving, but with the right adjustments, Amokachi’s team can still fight their way back.

The contrasting fortunes of both teams make for an interesting narrative as the season progresses.
