Wednesday’s match between SLA and Central was action-packed from the very beginning. With the rain and muddy grass, the game was bound to be exciting. Early in the match, both teams created chances and looked to score, yet after a hard-fought 40 minutes, they remained level at halftime.

Early in the second half, Central won a penalty and converted it to take the lead. However, SLA quickly equalized with a penalty of their own, scored by junior Ayo Awodesu. The rest of the second half was nothing short of a battle, with both teams desperate for a goal to claim all three points.

In the dying moments of the game, after winning a corner kick, senior Emerson Melchor smashed the ball into the back of the net to take the lead and seal the victory!
