Tournament discovery Everton Football Academy of Ikolo on Monday in a matchday 16 encounter produced a superb performance to record a famous 4-1 win over Overcoming Lamb Assembly FC at the Bishop Dimieari Grammar School Centre in the Bayelsa State Governor's Football Tournament christened the Prosperity Cup.

The Ikolo based side had already taken the scalps of Swali FC, Boki Joy FC in the tournament but the win over Overcoming Lamb Assembly is of much greater significance as the Evertonians have now qualified for the Round of 32 and gone beyond the two goal mark they registered in their previous matches.

Godgift Otubo put Everton FC ahead 15 minutes into the game from close range with the young lads controlling proceedings from the blast of the whistle. Noble Agah added another 24 minutes into play for the Ikolo side.

When it seemed the young and determined Everton team were going to go into halftime break with a 2-0 victory Michael Ambas compounded the woes of the church boys with a beauty of a shot from 30 yards to make it 3-0 with a minute to spare before half-time.

On resumption Overcoming Lamb Assembly reduced the deficit with a gifted goal from the Evertonian goalkeeper who committed an unusual error. Overcoming Lamb will at least go home with the consolation that they are the first team to break the resolute defense of the Everton FC young lads.

This consolation goal drew the ire of the young lads as they continued to mount pressure on Overcoming Lamb Assembly to register more goals before it paid off in 77th minute. Credit must be given to the Overcoming Lamb FC side for keeping the shooting legs of the young lads out of their goal area for the better part of the second half and prevent a lot more goals from being put in the back of their net.
