Spartans of Agege FC and The Charlesann FC are in devastating form as the United Football Championship (UFC) Season two gathers more momentum.
The competition, which is one of the best grassroot tournaments in the country, entered it’s second phase or rounds of matches with increased vibes from many of the teams participating in this year’s edition.
Spartans started the second round like a team on fire with a deserving win over Box 2 Box side which had a 100% record wins coming into the match. The Agege boys however ran away 1-0 victors to shatter or end Box 2 Box unbeaten streak.
To put doubters in their place and confirm that their victories Lionheart who they also defeated 3-1 and Box 2 Box were no fluke, they humbled another top side, Dominion Hotspur who fell to their superior firepower by 2-0.
Another team which has equally showed great form and has been on the ascendency since the beginning of the second round is The Charlesann. Although they started the tournament slowly with a 4-2 loss coincidentally to Spartans in their first league game of the season. They however shook it off and never looked back thereafter with one five star performance after another particularly from the second round. A 3-1 defeat of Starbase followed by a 2-0 win over L Mirado confirmed Charlesann as non jokers this season.
This development, the league has been thrown wide open with defending champions, Glorious Day with other top sides not sure of what to expect this season as far as the title is concerned.
More fascinating matches would be played this weekend as Glorious Day FA square up against Spartans while Box 2 Box will face De Elite. Both matches are billed for Saturday 11am and 1pm respectively.
On Sunday at the same venue, Legacy Pitch, Surulere, Lagos where the UFC league games are held, Dominion Hotspur will battle
Charlesann by 7am in a duel that promises great spectacle.
