In a spirited display of the YabaTech Student Union Government (YASUG) League, SMBS (School of Management and Business Studies) and the School of Part-Time (SPT) battled to a 1-1 draw in a thrilling encounter that kept spectators on their feet until the final whistle.
Played under calm afternoon at the institution’s main pitch, the much-hyped fixture delivered drama, leadership, and moments of brilliance — particularly from both team captains who got on the scoresheet in a game that came alive in the second half.
After a goalless first half marked by near-misses and midfield tussles, it was SMBS captain, Victor Nwokocha, who opened the scoring fifteen minutes into the restart. Picking up a loose ball at the edge of the box, Victor surged forward and rifled a low shot past the SPT goalkeeper to give his side a deserved lead, sending the SMBS supporters into wild celebration.
The goal injected fresh energy into the contest, with SMBS pushing for a second, while SPT began to grow into the game with a more aggressive press and renewed attacking intent.
As the clock ticked down, the School of Part-Time refused to fold. Their persistence paid off in the 85th minute, when captain Abraham Sule slotted home a low-drive shot. His equaliser was a moment of sheer determination — a captain’s goal that gave SPT a share of the spoils and silenced the SMBS crowd.
Despite frantic efforts from both sides in the dying moments, neither team could find a winner.
Final Score:
SMBS 1 – 1 School of Part-Time
Goals:
- SMBS: Victor Adebayo (47′)
- SPT: Abraham Sule (85′)
With the result, both teams remain firmly in the hunt for top positions in the school league standings. SMBS will be disappointed not to have held onto their early lead, while the School of Part-Time can take pride in a hard-earned point on the road.
