The Disciplinary Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation Thursday awarded Tuesday’s Federation Cup Round of 59 clash between Akwa United FC and 3SC to the Ibadan giants following investigations into a protest submitted by 3SC.
Chief Sports Officer, Umaru Kontagora said the decision was made after the committee was satisfied that Akwa United FC failed to present its players’ licenses before the match in Minna, which the National League club won 4-2 on penalties after both teams failed to score.
Premier League club, 3SC will proceed into next week’s Round of 32, in which they will confront, ironically, Akwa Starlet FC for a place in the group phase.
It was also confirmed that Premier League side, Warri Wolves prevailed over NAF Rockets of Abuja 3-2, as against the earlier report that NAF Rockets won 3-2.
