Defender, Clever Ime’s second half goal was all the Akwa Ibom State club needed to pip the Oshodi, Lagos State club 1-0 after 90 minutes.

Despite the pressure mounted by Dakkada, the first half ended goalless.
The goal finally came with 10 minutes into the second half as Ime headed in the goal, his third of the season which was enough for Dakkada to get maximum points.
