Yudala Eagles, the football team of composite e-commerce company, Yudala, has once again demonstrated its growing pedigree on the pitch after pipping their consumer finance counterparts, RenMoney to a 3-2 victory in a tough encounter on Saturday, March 17th 2018.
Yudala Eagles hit the back of the net in the 20th minute through a penalty kick awarded after Samuel Obi was brought down in the 18-yard box. Obi calmly dispatched the spot kick to put them in the lead.
Several attempts were made by both sides, all of which failed to hit the target, until Gabriel Elachi struck an unstoppable effort from distance in the 35th minute to double the lead.
Upon resumption of the second-half, the pressure from RenMoney reached fever-pitch as the match progressed but Olufemi Adesoye was able to calm frayed Yudala nerves with another long-range strike that struck the bar and beat the goalkeeper to make it three for Yudala Eagles.
Tired legs were spotted and substitutions were made by both sides in order to gain an advantage.
Olajide Omotayo of RenMoney made several attempts to restore his team’s pride until a defensive error was committed by Yudala’s skipper Edmund Chidiebere which saw RenMoney grab a second goal.
The win saw Yudala Eagles continue their winning streak after a 1-0 defeat of TD Stars, the football team of ICT distribution power-house Technology Distributions Ltd., in a previous friendly played in Gbagada.
