The hosts got off to a bright start, creating decent chances early on, with Salman Faris and Lucky Nwafor coming close.
Midway through the first half, Fuzy Taylor saw his long-range effort deflected for a corner, before Edmond Amakye misfired inside the box from the resulting set-piece.

After the break, Lions made their early pressure count, with Awoute finishing off a cross from Edmond Amakye to open the scoring.

Substitute Bernard Kesse doubled the lead for the hosts in the 77th minute, capping off a brilliant team move to strengthen their advantage.
