Grassrunners Edge Inter Lagos as Ajibola Emmanuel Delivers
Left winger Ajibola Emmanuel was on target as Grassrunners FC recorded an impressive victory over Inter Lagos in the 2026 Ogunjobi Gold Cup at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta on Monday.
The youngster opened the scoring in the 28th minute after capitalising on a defensive error, giving Grassrunners the advantage in their Matchday Four encounter.
Ubi Johnson extended the lead with a well-taken effort as Grassrunners secured a 2-0 victory that moved them to the top of the tournament standings with 10 points.
The result was one of the major talking points of the day, with Grassrunners overcoming Inter Lagos to strengthen their position in the pre-season competition.
Born on 28 May 2009, Ajibola is one of the young Nigerian players seeking to establish himself in competitive football. His goal against Inter Lagos provided an important contribution to Grassrunners’ campaign in a tournament that brings together clubs preparing for the new season.
The Ogunjobi Gold Cup continued to provide teams with an opportunity to assess their squads and give players valuable competitive minutes ahead of their respective league campaigns.
Grassrunners’ victory underlined their early form in the competition, as they moved to the top of the table following Matchday Four.
The tournament was scheduled to resume on Wednesday after a break on Tuesday, with participating clubs continuing their pursuit of the pre-season title.

Participants from different walks of life are eagerly looking forward to the Lagos Women Run scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos.
The participants have expressed excitement about the opportunities and experiences the annual event promises to offer.
Our correspondent reports that, in addition to runners from within Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, some athletes are expected to travel from outside the country to participate in the race.
The organisers are already making preparations for the large number of registered participants, while the possibility of accepting late entries will depend on the timing and other arrangements.
The Coordinator of the Lagos Women Run, Tayo Popoola, said participants should expect an improved experience compared with previous editions.
“We have to continue to get better, as that is the driving force for us as organisers. We will be bigger and better with every edition,” Popoola said.
The 2026 Lagos Women Run will hold on Saturday, November 14, with Tafawa Balewa Square serving as the starting point.
Participants are expected to arrive at the venue by 6:30 a.m. for the event.
