Expectations from the game was to see Nestle Nigeria dominate on the pitch and show a better understanding of the environment, having participated in previous years. But the game took an unexpected turn, as it was highly competitive, with the debutantes displaying amazing skills.
With a strong defence from both teams, none was ready to back down, leading to a goalless full-time match.
Matthew Nwankwo of Friesland Campina emerged MVP of the match.
The event also featured several spectator fun games, including, ‘take a shot’, where spectators and supporters were opportune to also display football skills.
The football action will resume on Saturday 4th June, 2016 at the Digital Bridge Institute, Cappa, Illupeju – Lagos.
