Claus Steinlein Cup: M&N FC Edge Olhan FA 1-0
Sampson Adedeji
M&N FC kicked off their preseason campaign in the Claus Steinlein Cup on a winning note on Tuesday, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Olhan FA.
The Samurai Boys asserted control from the blast of the whistle, dictating possession and creating several scoring opportunities.
However, wastefulness in front of goal prevented them from capitalising on their dominance for much of the encounter.
Despite their early pressure, M&N FC struggled to find the breakthrough as Olhan FA remained resolute at the back, frustrating their opponents with disciplined defending.
The decisive moment eventually arrived towards the end of the game when forward Segun Olubanjo found the back of the net to hand M&N FC the crucial advantage.
His late strike proved enough to separate both sides and ensure maximum points for his team.
The narrow victory offers a positive start for M&N FC as they continue preparations ahead of the new season.
