Beyond Limits Revive Campaign With Emphatic Victory, Ikorodu City, 36 Lion Draw

Day Two of the 2026 Lagos Supremacy Cup lived up to expectations on Tuesday at the Legacy Pitch, National Stadium, Surulere, as Beyond Limits bounced back to winning ways while 36 Lion FC and defending champions Ikorodu City were both held to draws.

The day kicked off with Group A clash between 36 Lion FC and Edo Selected ending in a goalless 0-0 draw.

It was a game of missed chances and brilliant goalkeeping, with 36 Lion’s Ade Oguns attempting a spectacular bicycle kick in the 18th minute that narrowly missed target.

Edo Selected came closest to breaking the deadlock in the 24th minute when Tenebe Precious’s low volley was brilliantly saved by 36 Lion goalkeeper Afeez Shittu.

The shot-stopper was again at his best in the 48th minute, rising high to deny Samuel Idoro’s attempted olimpico before his defenders cleared the rebound to preserve the point.

In the second Group A fixture, Beyond Limits FA responded emphatically to their Day 1 defeat with a convincing 3-0 victory over Atlantic Selected.

Saka Yusuf was the hero, opening the scoring in the 16th minute before doubling the lead two minutes later with a low volley for his brace.

Beyond Limits continued their dominance as Memud Olamilekan made it 3-0 in the 22nd minute, capitalizing on poor communication in Atlantic’s defence after Ishola recovered the ball from striker Kadiri.

The win puts Beyond Limits back in contention in Group A with three points from two games.

Group B action saw defending champions Ikorodu City held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Collins Edwin SC. Adedayo Ibrahim broke the deadlock for Collins Edwin in the 37th minute with a powerful volley, but Akinwade Olumide restored parity for Ikorodu City in the 42nd minute to share the spoils.

The final game of Day 2 saw Badagry Selected secure their first win of the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Bariga Stars.

James Lekan opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a stunning set-piece effort that flew beyond the wall and into the net.

Badagry doubled their advantage five minutes later when Nwakpa Chidera punished a poor clearance by defender Fawehinmi Bidemi to make it 2-0, a lead they held until full time to reignite their campaign.

After two days of action, Group A remains wide open with 36 Lion on four points with Atlantic Selected and Beyond Limits having three points apiece, while Group B sees Ikorodu City and Collins Edwin SC on four points each, setting up a decisive final group games on Wednesday at the Legacy Pitch.
