MFM 2 MC Alger 1: Monsuru Bashiru blinder gives Olukoya Olukoya Boys a slim win in Lagos
Monsuru Bashiru blinder helped MFM FC scraped to a 2-1 win against Algerian side MC Alger in the Champions League at the Agege Stadium in Lagos on Wednesday.
MC Alger made MFM work for their slim win. Chijioke Akuneto won a penalty after Azzi Ayoub fouled him in Alger’s box. Akuneto calmly converted from the spot to give MFM the lead nine minutes to the break.
Eleven minutes into the restart, Abdulaziz Ammachi levelled the score at 1-1 leaving MFM head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu furious on the sideline.
It looked like MC Alger would take with them a comfortable result back to Algeria for the second leg before defensive midfielder Monsuru Bashiru scored a blinder to help MFM edge past the Algerian side.
