It will interest you to know that all the four goalkeepers in the team’s fold were on duty during the first round.
As we look forward to the commencement of the second half of the season, we present for your reading pleasure, the breakdown of how the goalies fared in the first round.
CHARLES TAMBE – 4 games, 3 clean sheets
The former Abia Warriors safe hand was in between the sticks in the matches against Rovers of Calabar in Ijebu-Ode, Giant Brillars in Enugu, Delta Force in Ogwashi-Uku and FC Nilayo in Ijebu-Ode
While he kept clean sheets in the 3-0 win over Rovers, 1-0 victory over Giant Brillars, the 1-0 triumph over Delta Force, he was only beaten via a spot kick in the 3-1win over FC Nilayo.
A brilliant performance from the experienced goalkeeper
OKANLAWON LAIDE (MON) – 4 games, 2 clean sheets
The FIFA U-17 World Cup gold medalists also manned the posts four times. Against Go Round in Ijebu-Ode, Stationery Stores in Lagos, Nnewi United in Oba and Vandrezzer FC in Ijebu-Ode.
He was unbeaten in the 3-0 victory over Stores and the 2-0 win over Vandrezzer but was unlucky in the 2-1 triumph over Go Round and in the 0-1 loss to Nnewi United.
A great one from the ex Golden Eaglets’ goalkeeper
OGUNDARE DETAN – 2 games, 2 clean sheets
The former U-20 national team goalkeeper was called to duty on two occasions, against Osun United in Ijebu-Ode and Ekiti United in Ado-Ekiti.
He did well to concede no goal in the 3-0 bashing of Osun United and the goalless outing against Ekiti United.
Fantastic showing from the All African Games silver medalist
DEDE DARE -1 game, 1 clean sheet
Dede featured once in the first round and that was in the tie against Dynamite Force of Iyharmo in Ijebu-Ode.
He was unbeatable in that encounter as the stars cruised to an inspiring 3-0 victory.
A commendable performance from the former Go Round goalie
Summarily, the four goalkeepers, under the tutelage of former Super Falcons’ goalkeeper’s trainer, coach Lateef Yusuf, convinced all that they can stand the test of time.
Expect greater exploits from the quartet when the second round begins.
