The match finished 0-0. Both sides created chances, but neither could find a way through in Lagos.
This was a tight, physical game decided more by defending than attacking. Barau set up to frustrate the hosts and largely succeeded, and match data shows five bookings: Barau’s S. Wisdom (33′), O. K. Okagube (38′) and C. Chiaha (55′), and Ikorodu City’s F. Salami (83′) and K. Peter (90′).

Agagbe was pleased with an away point. He said his side came with a strategy and that “losing was not in our agenda”, adding that his players’ focus and concentration were “just too great”.
Barau kept second place on eight points from four games, and Ikorodu City stayed fifth on five points from three.
