The recent clash at the SUG Cup between student teams from Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), formerly LASPOTECH, brought forth a riveting display of skill and determination. 


The event witnessed an array of emotions from jubilation to frustration as players, coaches, and spectators came together for an unforgettable contest.


In a game that left spectators on the edge of their seats, Mass Communication locked horns with the Faculty of Engineering, culminating in a tight 1-0 victory for Mass Communication. The intensity of the match was palpable from the opening whistle, as both teams fought valiantly for the upper hand.


The contest, held at a buzzing campus stadium, was notable for its roller-coaster of sentiments. Adekunle Adejuwon Emmanuel, fondly referred to as "Ronaldo," stood tall on the field for Mass Communication.



 Expressing his views, he stated, "The match was tough, but with special grace from above, we secured victory. I've played tougher games, and this is just one step towards greater achievements. I promise to contribute to Mass Communication's journey towards the ultimate award."

However, the game was not without its share of controversies. Asafa Jimoh Sodiq, the resolute captain of the Faculty of Engineering, voiced his frustration, saying, "The game was painful, and we need more training to improve. Refereeing decisions need improvement too, as the communication between officials appeared flawed." 

Sulaimon, a defender for the Faculty of Engineering, echoed similar sentiments, urging referees to focus on the game and avoid favoring any side.


The referee's decisions drew pointed comments from players. Adedoyin Tunde, a member of the Faculty of Engineering's defense, expressed disappointment over a potentially game-changing penalty that wasn't awarded. The sentiment was echoed by Tobi, who underlined the importance of fair officiating and called for medical support for players.


Despite the contentious calls, the event concluded with a reminder of sportsmanship and hope for the future. Habeeb Anjorin, a determined winger, acknowledged the need to stay vigilant on the field and maintain a high level of sportsmanlike conduct.



The SUG Cup match between LASUSTECH's Mass Communication and Faculty of Engineering teams proved to be a microcosm of the passion and challenges often associated with collegiate sports. As both teams regroup for upcoming matches, the echoes of this intense encounter are sure to resonate throughout the campus, serving as a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and camaraderie.







NAAS Concedes Late Goal

In an opening fixture clash which was subject to a late kick-off, Agricultural Technology (NAAS) suffered a setback as they conceded a late goal to Pure and Applied Science Department, leading to a 2-1 defeat and placing them at the bottom of group B. The victorious side, NAPASS, secured their win through goals from Emmanuel Owolana and Adekunle Wale.

Despite a promising start in the second half of the contest with a goal by Ajaguna Micheal from NAAS, frustration loomed as victory slipped away. Ajaguna expressed disappointment, stating, "We needed a win, we are all unhappy, and hopefully, we get our win in the next match."

In contrast, Emmanuel Owolayo, one of the contributors to NAPASS's triumph, exuded delight and offered valuable advice to his teammates. He emphasized the significance of teamwork, stating, "My advice for the team members is to train hard. About teamwork, it is really good. When you work together, you achieve something better. Without working together, we can’t win, so teamwork is the best."
