Abakaliki FC progressed to the final of the 2025 President Federation Cup after edging Ikorodu City 5-4 on penalties after regulation time saw no goals.
LINEUP: Faith James; Waliu Ojetoye, Harrison Uzondu, Chibuike Oheagbulam, Leonard Ngenge; Onwe Kelechi, Salawu Yusuf, Tosin Oyedokun; Emmanuel Solomon, Moses Shodeinde & Alade Solomon.
The game lacked huge decisive action moments but with that, a few chances were created. Alade Solomon forced the goalkeeper to a huge save with a towering header off a cross from Waliu Ojetoye.
Later in the second half, Abakaliki FC were through on goal but the effort fell just inches off the upright in what was a tight game that saw no goals in regulation time.
The NNL side however progressed after shootouts winning 5-4 from six penalties as we crash out at the semi final and will not play a part on the continent.
