Dannaz produced an all-round incredible performance to claim their first ever Bet9ja title in what was their maiden season in the SociaLiga. Not only did this hitherto unknown club end the two-year dominance of the rich SociaLiga giants, Saints, they did so playing a brand of football that was mesmerizing, while breaking records and scoring goals galore.
The 2018 Bet9jaSociaLiga playoffs lived up to its hype as Bravos Knights and SCN Ladies booked their places in the grand finale following a brilliant day of football at the Vocational Center in Isheri, Magodo, on Saturday. Bravos defeated Raineri 4-1 in the Mainland Coneference while SCN reaffirmed their superiority over defending champions, Saints Ladies, in the Women’s Liga with a penalty shootout win.
Abayomi said that his wards are more than ready to finally put an end to their poor run against the Guns. I believe so,” he said, when asked if Raineri can get a win over Guns. “We have prepared adequately and our fans will be roaring us to victory. I can guarantee we are prepared to give a good account of ourselves, we [are] in a good position [so] no pressures at all.”
Speaking to the SociaLiga during his pre-match press chat, Tomi said with his team having met their initial target of a playoffs spot, despite a difficult start to the season, they have now set their sights on going a step further and then, possibly capturing the biggest of them all, the main prize.
“Revival” is one word that has been met with a lot of negativity over the last 7 months, no thanks to Eminem’s underwhelming 7th solo studio album. In The SociaLiga, however, “Revival” is the one word that has been met with a lot of positivity, thanks to Citizens FC.
Dannaz have gone and built on their solid opening day display. They just had their winning/unbeaten streak snapped by Citizens but prior to that, they set a SociaLiga record of 4 consecutive wins to start the season, a feat never achieved before.
If Citizens ever needed a miracle, if ever they needed the divine intervention from the Man upstairs, it’s on Matchday 4. Dannaz FC are on a mission to obliterate everything in their way with their eyes firmly on the prize; the title in December. Their 4 consecutive wins to start the season is a new SociaLiga record and it not only feels like they could go the entire Regular Season unbeaten, it’s starting to look like they could do it without dropping a point.
