Nationwide League One side, FC Ebedei, provided the major shock of the opening day of the 4th edition of Gold Cup Pre-Season Tournament
with an impressive victory over Niger Tornadoes at the Otunba Dipo Dina International Stadium, Ijebu Ode.
Winger Gideon Joel’s 37th minute goal separates the two sides in the keenly contested tie watched by impressive crowd.
FC Ebedei captain, Maikasuwa Godwin, missed a 70th minute penalty that was brilliantly saved by Tornadoes safehand, Mustapha Salihu.
Tornadoes with a better possession were wasteful against the determined Oliseh Boys.
Ebedei will be up against defending champion Kano Pillars on Saturday evening, while Tornadoes battle Sunshine Stars on Sunday evening.
