Lekki United’s promotion push in the Nigerian League One is intensifying. After accumulating 12 points from five games, they’re determined to secure a top spot. The team’s recent performance saw them suffer a 1-0 loss to Roro Football Club, dropping to third place.
However, they are focused on bouncing back with wins in their final two games against City Sports and Chekas United.Lekki United started the season strongly, thrashing Great Olympics 7-1, with Owoyele Michael scoring a hat-trick and Timileyin Odofin netting a brace.
They maintained their form with dominant wins, including a 1-0 victory over Sporting Lagos, where Owoyele Michael scored the only goal. The team’s four-game winning streak was halted by the loss to Roro FC, but they are regrouping to make a strong push for promotion.
With 12 points, Lekki United trails Roro FC (13 points) and is tied with Sporting Lagos on points but lags behind on goal difference. To progress to the playoffs and potentially earn promotion to the Nigerian National League, they will need to win their remaining games and hope for favorable results elsewhere.
