The Golden Eaglets after scoring the goal kept on with their pressure to increase their points.
Fortunately for the Eaglets again, in the 35th minute, Rapha Adams scored the second goal through a header after a cross from Simon Cletus.
In the 57th minute of the match, the Eaglets again scored their third goal through Adeleke.
