Just two minutes later, Rivio Ayemwenre added another for Ikorodu City with a beautiful curler, assisted again by Austin, his third assist of the match.

Amokachi made tactical substitutions in an attempt to turn the tide after going down by two goals, but his opposite number responded effectively with substitutions of his own, which proved decisive in securing Ikorodu City’s victory.

The defeat marked Amokachi’s third consecutive match without a win since taking charge of Lobi Stars, who replaced their hosts, who are out of the red zone for the first time, at the root of the table.

The pressure is mounting for the former Everton star as he seeks to turn around Lobi Stars’ fortunes in the NPFL.
