The match attracted a significant crowd, featuring notable football figures including Delta State deputy governor Monday Onyeme, NFF president Ibrahim Gusau, and the NNL board’s management team led by chairman George Aluo, along with numerous fans and supporters of both teams.

Warri Wolves displayed outstanding tactical play and maintained greater possession throughout the match, which paid off as Yusuf Lateef netted an early goal in the 9th minute. This initial strike bolstered the Wolves’ confidence, leading to a second goal just 12 minutes later from Igbunu Evwierhurhona, wearing jersey number 31. The team’s dominance continued with Lateef’s assist for a third goal in the 28th minute, bringing the score to 3-0.

However, Wikki Tourists demonstrated resilience and quickly regrouped. Their efforts were rewarded with a consolation goal from Mahmood Aliyu, reducing the deficit to 3-1 by the end of the first half.

As the second half commenced, Wikki Tourists emerged with renewed determination, dominating ball possession. This enhanced performance culminated in a second goal by Wanderson Yakubu in the 59th minute, narrowing the scoreline to 3-2.

Following the final whistle, supporters of Wikki Tourists stormed the pitch in protest, demanding additional time should have been allocated. Chaos ensued until security personnel and local leaders intervened to restore order.

The match, played in challenging weather conditions with heavy rain preceding the kick-off, resulted in four yellow cards being issued.

In a post-match interview, Wikki Tourists captain Mohammed Idris expressed dissatisfaction with their slow start but praised his team for their fighting spirit against a formidable opponent. Meanwhile, Warri Wolves coach Napoleon Aluma acknowledged that his players were well-prepared and anticipated victory, recognising the quality of both teams.

With this victory, Warri Wolves proudly lift the NNL Super 8 trophy, marking a significant achievement in their footballing journey.
