Dolphins Academy reignited their campaign in the NLO U19 Youth League with a confident 3-1 win over YWAM Impact FC in the opening match of Matchday 2 at Sharks Stadium, Port Harcourt.

The tone was set early as Chinedu Nwamara calmly slotted home from the penalty spot in the 8th minute to put Dolphins ahead, Footballrover reports.

YWAM Impact found their way back into the game in the 38th minute when Promise Lue tapped in at the far post after a smart square pass.

The joy was short-lived, however, as Nwamara struck again just four minutes later with an emphatic finish to restore Dolphins’ lead before halftime.

In the 83rd minute, Blessing Asuru wrapped things up with a sharp strike from a tight angle, sealing all three points for Dolphins Academy.

Benedi United went ahead in the 32nd minute when Abednego Silas sent the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot.

Cynosure, who won their opening game, found an equaliser in the 56th minute in bizarre fashion—captain Chidiebere Eze’s header deflected into the net after the goalkeeper’s save rebounded off him.

Both sides pushed for a winner, but the score remained level.
