All roads led to the Sports Complex for the opening ceremony of the most anticipated sporting event in the University of Maiduguri. Tagged "INTER-COLLEGE/FACULTY SPORTS COMPETITION FOR STUDENTS", the 12 days event with over 200 athletes from the various college/faculties is set to exercise and re-energized the students for the upcoming exams slated for next month. The competition was kicked off with an opening game between:
FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE (Green)
versus:
FACULTY OF EDUCATION (Yellow)
The game was officiated by Grema Mohammed (DUSKE) and the first goal of the tournament came from Saleh who took advantage of the poor defence of the farmers to put the teachers in an early lead before Abuchi doubled the lead before half time.
As SuperStar DJ Xclusive will always say "THIS IS FOOTBALL, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN", the farmers cultivated their first goal when Emmanuel got himself on the score sheet after taking a low level shot to beat the goalkeeper who was left frustrated. It took no much time before Abdulrahman planted another goal in the teachers' post to pull a huge comeback for the farmers. The game ended 2-2 in normal time and it was penalty time as everybody around pitch was tensed.
FACULTY OF EDUCATION won the penalty shoot-out 8-7 to eliminate FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE and advanced to the next round. Meanwhile in other news, later today FACULTY OF ENGINEERING (builders) takes on FACULTY OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE (maintainers) in the second football game while other activities like basketball, tennis, judo, taekwondo, cheese, etc are expected to begin today.
