To honor the memory of late Mr.Onalapo, the father of midfielder Onalapo Olawale the club donned a black armband and also observed a minute silence before the game kicked off.
As his customary in the female game, the ball spent the better part up in the air in the first half with both teams struggling to pick the pieces.
