Wonderxchange FC played out a 0-0 draw with Young Kings FC, securing a spot in the quarterfinals of the ENIT Projects and Technologies Preseason Cup 2024. The stalemate ensured Wonderxchange finished second in their group with 5 points, behind group leaders Young Kings FC.
Coach Olayiwola stuck to his recent 4-3-3 formation, making only one change to the starting lineup, with Oluwatobi Dahunsi replacing the unavailable Terdoo Apeichie. The match was characterized by a lack of clear-cut chances, as both teams adopted a cautious approach, aware that a draw would be enough to see them through to the next round.
Wonderxchange’s Amaechi Sunday had an early effort dragged wide not long after kickoff, while skipper Lekan Ajeyomi’s header off a corner kick was hacked off the line later on. The skipper had another header in the 55th minute from an Opeyemi Babatunde setpiece, but it failed to find the back of the net, ending the match in a 0-0 stalemate.
Wonderxchange FC will now face Saint FC in the quarterfinals on Wednesday at the Ijapo Football Pitch, with kickoff scheduled for 11:30 am.
