Five-time world champions Golden Eaglets have zoomed into the semi finals of the football event of the 22nd National Sports Festival in Ogun State.
Abdulmuiz Adeleke, who netted the first goal in the 2-1 win over Edo State Monday, came up big with a brace against Ebonyi State in Friday morning’s quarter-final encounter, which the Eaglets won 5-0 to sail into the last four.
Mohammed Imrana, scorer of the second goal against Edo State, was also among the goals, though he was unlucky to bag a red card in the closing minutes of the encounter.
Destiny Samuel and Emmanuel Ochigbo were the other scorers.
On Thursday, the Flamingos drew 0-0 with Lagos State. They lead their group B with five points, ahead of Friday evening’s final group stage clash with Enugu State, who are pointless.
Delta and Lagos State are fast on the Flamingos’ heels with four points each.
Osun State leads the four-team group A with seven points, with Ogun and Edo States on five and four points respectively.
