The second game in the Group B opener was between Selion FC and Yadzo Oti Warriors which was preceded by a spectacular official Opening Ceremony.
Selion FC failed to live up to expectations in front of home fans against Yadzo Oti Warriors.
An early own goal in just a minute from Selion’s defender, Akoto Sadick became the only goal to separate the two sides.
Yadzo Oti Warriors worked so hard to keep their lines clean despite the many attacks from Selion.
