NESTLE                 1 – 1      UNILEVER

NESTLE took on UNILEVER in week 2 of the FMCG games seeking to make an impression. The Milo boys are making their debut in the competition but were far from inexperienced as they had played in the REMITA Corporate Champions Cup. In the competition they played against fellow industry team PZ Cussons in a game they won. UNILEVER however posed a different competition altogether. After drawing their first game against PZ Cussons in a game they should have won, it was imperative to get all points against NESTLE, to go top of the table.

The game started at a frenetic pace, with UNILEVER showing a better understanding of the environment having played there last week. UNILEVER Star player, Ikechukwu Enebeli started from the bench, same as Chike Nwanze for NESTLE.

NESTLE gradually grew into the game and after several misses, the UNILEVER defence finally caved in. Kassim Isah was able to break through the defence to nip in the first goal. The goal spurred UNILEVER into action and they started to pile on the pressure on NESTLE. It eventually paid off in the final minute of play when UNILEVER won a penalty. The penalty was duly dispatched by Akindayo Akintope.

MVP: OKUNOLA IDOWU (UNILEVER)
