Segun Alebiosu scores for Kwara United

 It's a Monday which means y'all would have allowed the results from the weekend sink in. I'm not sure how I feel about Enyimba's slim 1-0 win over Smouha of Egypt but I'm still confident they can scrap through in Egypt.

 The game will be behind closed doors which is a big deal if you have traveled on the continent for away games. What Enyimba should do is get to Egypt on good time and try to avoid crowded areas, sneak into the stadium and get the win.

 Sounds like a movie right? You can read up on the game HERE


 There were some fantastic games in the Glo Premier League too. Kwara United and El-Kanemi put up a great show in Ilorin with the home team edging in 2-1.

 Evans Iyoro got Kwara's first goal before Alebiosu added a second , but El-Kanemi gave themselves a lifeline with a well taken goal by substitute Ibrahim who hit a screamer past Ismail in goal for Kwara.

Introducing Barca's Godswill Ekpolo

Elohor Godswill Ekpolo sits in the Barcelona dressing room, his Nike Tiempo boots comes off his foot as coach Jordi Vinyals pats him on the head for a great game and for good measure too. The talented right-back had earlier scored for FC Barcelona's Juvenile A squad (equivalent of the Barcelona C team) as they whipped Celtic 3-0 to round up the group stage matches of the 2013/14 Uefa Youth Champions League. The goal was his third in six group stage matches, as Barcelona's Under-19 team ran riot collecting 16 points from a possible 18in a group that also had the youth sides of AC Milan, Ajax and Celtic. Ekpolo is highly rated in the Blaugranas circles and is tipped to become a first team star very soon to follow the footstep of his more illustrious and established La Masia graduates like Carles Poyul, Sergio Busquets, and more recently Cameroonian youngster Jean Marie Dongou.

Arsenal U23 defender Joseph Olowu is primed to follow in the footsteps of former Arsenal star Alex Iwobi as he has declared his allegiance to Nigeria. Olowu, who is a mainstay in the Arsenal U23 side, was initially pencilled to be part of the Flying Eagles preparatory camp in Germany before Poland 2019 but injury cut short that dream. The centre back, who can also play at right-back and in defensive midfield overcame that injury and is now having a decent run in Arsenal’s U23 side. Olowu, 19, who also trains with the Arsenal first-team, told Andrew Randa that Nigeria has always been on his mind and will always be the first choice.
