TCC League: Elijah's late strike save Dino blushes against Valiant

 

Adekunle Elijah's 89th minute goal ensured Dino SC avoided their second defeat home as they played out a 2-2 draw against Valiant FC on Sunday. 

The Matchday Seven encounter of the ongoing The Creative Championship, TCC League produced four good goals but without victor between both sides. 

Dino had to come back twice to salvage a home point against a resurging Valiant. 

Samuel Maleek had given Valiant the lead with just two minutes after the half hour mark when converted from the spot. 

Dino tried all they could to even the score before the end of first half but fell short of ideas in their final third. 

But the hosts would soon get their acts right in second stanza as they find the equalizer with six minutes into restart when Henry Azimi latched on to a through ball at the edge of the box.

Celebration for the equalizer didn't last long for the hosts as Valiant regained the lead when Elegalam Sixtus puts Dino's smile into scissors with a curling effort. 

Valiant thought they have secured a famous win on the road but Dino had other plans as they rallied to safe their faces with a stoppage time equalizer. 

They weave some passes together in their opponents' half before Adekunle Elijah finished it with a well taken effort. 

The result however mean Dino will remain third on the log with 13 points from seven league games.
