Samuel Odutola pulled KSU Steelers back into the game in 4th minute after Fuoye defense failed to clear their lines properly

KSU Steelers had chance to go into the lead before half time but, Goalkeeper Lawani Clinton was at his best to keep them out. 

Clinton was later let down by his defenders once again in the 68 minutes, after they were caught napping and only for Suleiman Muhammed to give KSU Steelers the lead. 

Steelers dominated after their second goal in an otherwise disjointed half for both sides, Fuoye Dazzlers hope for a leveller were dashed nine minutes from time as Ali Selah slot in from close range from a beautiful cross in the 81st minute. 

Fuoye came close for a consolatory goal in the last minute but Korede could not keep his head down only to fire wide.
