By Saheed Afolabi
Beyond Limits FA returned to winning ways with a convincing 3-0 victory over Atlantic Selected, while 36 Lion FC and defending champions Ikorodu City were held to draws on Day Two of the 2026 Lagos Supremacy Cup at the Legacy Pitch, National Stadium, Surulere, on Tuesday.
The day’s action began with a keenly contested Group A encounter between 36 Lion FC and Edo Selected, which ended in a goalless draw despite several scoring opportunities.
36 Lion came close to taking the lead in the 18th minute when Ade Oguns attempted an acrobatic bicycle kick, but his effort narrowly missed the target.
Edo Selected also threatened in the 24th minute through Tenebe Precious, whose low volley was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Afeez Shittu. The 36 Lion shot-stopper produced another outstanding intervention in the 48th minute, denying Samuel Idoro’s attempted Olympic goal before his defenders cleared the rebound.
Beyond Limits FA subsequently delivered one of the day’s most impressive performances, responding to their opening-day defeat with a commanding 3-0 triumph over Atlantic Selected.
Saka Yusuf proved decisive for Beyond Limits, scoring twice in quick succession. He opened the scoring in the 16th minute before doubling his side’s advantage two minutes later with a well-taken low volley.
Memud Olamilekan extended the lead in the 22nd minute, capitalising on defensive confusion in the Atlantic Selected backline to complete the emphatic victory. The result revived Beyond Limits’ campaign, taking them to three points from two matches.
In Group B, defending champions Ikorodu City were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Collins Edwin SC in an entertaining encounter.
Collins Edwin took the lead in the 37th minute through Adedayo Ibrahim, who unleashed a powerful volley past the Ikorodu City goalkeeper.
However, the defending champions responded five minutes later as Akinwande Olumide found the equaliser in the 42nd minute to ensure both teams shared the points.
Badagry Selected ended the day’s proceedings on a positive note, recording their first victory of the tournament with a 2-0 win over Bariga Stars.
James Lekan opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a superb set-piece effort that beat the defensive wall before finding the back of the net.
Badagry doubled their advantage five minutes later when Nwakpa Chidera capitalised on a defensive error by Fawehinmi Bidemi to make it 2-0, a scoreline that remained unchanged until the final whistle.
Following Tuesday’s results, 36 Lion FC lead Group A with four points, while Atlantic Selected and Beyond Limits FA have three points apiece.
In Group B, Ikorodu City and Collins Edwin SC occupy the top positions with four points each, while Badagry Selected have revived their qualification hopes with their first victory.
Attention now shifts to Wednesday’s final group-stage fixtures, with several teams still battling for places in the next round of the competition at the Legacy Pitch, National Stadium, Surulere.
