In the opening match which turned out to an explosive encounter VATA FC of Idanre who finished the match with ten men after they had their captain sent off for dangerous play held on to a dramatic 2-2 draw against IDF FC in a match where chances went begging in either half even as both goalkeepers were busy between the sticks.
