Mustapha Amodu scored twice as SK Victoria Wanderers returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 3–2 victory over Sannat Lions in the opening fixture of Matchday 3. The Wanderers bounced back from their previous defeat, while Sannat remained without a point after three matches.
Victoria established a deserved two-goal lead, but Sannat fought back to draw level and keep the outcome in doubt. Amodu’s second goal ultimately settled the contest in the Wanderers’ favour. Victoria posed the greater attacking threat overall, while defensive lapses proved costly for Sannat for the third successive match.
