UNILAG Marines fought back to earn a 1-1 draw against FUTA Tigers in matchday one of the Higher Institutions Football League.
Iteade Ibrahim opened the scoring at the University of Lagos Sports Complex in the first-half, but Odu Robert cancelled out his opener at the death of the encounter.
The Marines looked promising in the opening minutes with Kelor Smith and Folarin Moses pulling the strings in the midfield, but the Tigers held their ground with fine defensive displays.
Despite the cagey affair between the two teams, goalkeeper Oroge Olawale turned out to be the weak link to the Marines’ defence with his ball-handling and positioning.
