For every goal scored, he promised to give the Harmony Boys $500,000 and the players took it personal.
Their matchday 38 was a day of redemption as Wasiu Alalade quickly handed the host the lead barely five minutes into the game, and 24 minutes later, Emmanuel Ogbole doubled the lead for his team heading into halftime.
