*”Golden” Performance In Boxing And Volleyball
‎
‎Team Lagos clinched gold medals at the female football event at the ongoing 9th National Youth Games in Asaba, walloping the host State, Delta, in a thrilling final.
‎
‎The game was played at the football pitch of St. Patrick’s College saw Lagos defeat Team Delta 5-4 on penalties after regulation time ended 1-1.
‎
‎After the first half ended with no goal for either side, Team Delta scored first in the second half. The hosts looked set to avenge their earlier defeat in the group phase against Team Lagos, but the Eko girls found the equalizer deep into the added time.

Team Delta missed their first kick during the penalty shootout and that proved significant in the end as Team Lagos converted their penalties as the state delegates led by the indefatigable Director General, Lekan Fatodu celebrated a major victory.

It was the fifth title for the Lagos female football at the National Youth Games, while the boys team secured Bronze medal after beating Team Bayelsa 2-0 in third place match.

Team Lagos increased their gold medal haul on Thursday, claiming important victories in both finals of the volleyball event and boxing.
