Aiteo Cup Quarter-Finals

-
The quarter-finals of the Aiteo Cup takes place today (Saturday) across three match centres. Second leg games will determine who goes through to the semi-finals. Nigeria Professional Football League champions Plateau United's double dreams is up in smoke except they can put three clear goals past Niger Tornadoes.


ABS of Ilorin have the biggest task of all as they look to overturn a three goal deficit against FC Ifeanyi Ubah-a tall order for coach Makinwa and his wards.

Duke Udi has come guns blazing debunking claims he has lost the dressing room at Osun United and this game against NPFL side Sunshine Stars will be an opportunity to put paid to those rumors. They take a advantage to Akure looking to make the Aiteo Cup semi-final for the first time.


The fourth game, Akwa United vs Katsina Feeders has been postponed.

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.
