Semifinals
Nath Boys FA vs Ikorodu City FA 1-1, on penalties 1-4
The nominal hosts opened the scoring in the 50th minute with an excellently executed combination. Ikorodu City has become famous in this tournament for its reliable defense (the team conceded only one goal in four matches before the semifinals). Still, in a challenging situation, this squad proved that it can attack with determination. The visitors equalized 10 minutes later and outplayed their rivals for the rest of the game, but the score remained tied.
In the quarterfinals, Nath Boys converted 7 out of 7 shots in the penalty shootout, but this time the team missed two out of three attempts. Ikorodu City, on the other hand, demonstrated 100% accuracy and advanced to the final.
ISAGT vs Dosu Joseph FC, 2-0
The nominal guests were unable to take revenge for their defeat by ISAGT (1-2) in the group stage. Throughout the tournament, the hosts looked more convincing and once again proved their superiority over Dosu Joseph.
In the semifinal game, ISAGT played more aggressively, and in the 54th minute, the future winner was facilitated by a mistake made by the opposing goalkeeper. Seven minutes later, Dosu Joseph conceded again and could not recover from the double blow.
