Two first-half goals from Imade Osehenkhoe and Ismael Seriki secured a win for the Benin Arsenal at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo and Monday Odigie’s side went on to win six out of the eight games to top Group A.
Following their dream start to the season, the goalie attributed the form to their opening match victory.
“The run started when we traveled to Uyo. Nobody gave us the chance to beat Akwa United but God was there for us,” Obasogie told Brila FM.
