Nnewi club, FC Ifeanyi Ubah, on Sunday marched
through the odds to defeat fellow finalists Nassarawa United 5-4 in penalties,
after normal time and extra time produced no goals in the tensely contested
affair at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Fc Ifeanyi Ubah's players
converted all their spot kicks, while their keeper Uche Okafor saved one from
Nasarawa United.
Personalities like Minister
of Sports, Barr. Solomon Dalung, NFF President Amaju Pinnick and Dr Ifeanyi
Ubah were in the stadium to watch the match.
This is the first trophy
for the club owned and financed by Billionaire businessman Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah,
and one that was truly welcomed by the neutrals, given the injection of funds
and foreign talent into the club by the Oil magnate in the last two years.
FC Ifeanyiubah also
nicknamed 'the Anambra Warriors', will now play in next year's Caf
Confederation Cup. Congrats to them!!
