Hassan Olubode doubled the advantage seven minutes later to give Ikorodu a comfortable 2-0 lead.

And eight minutes before the break, Alex Ekwunife added a third to seal the deal for the designated visitors.

The second half saw both teams create several chances to add to the score line, Dannaz came close with three golden opportunities, including a late penalty.

However, the Cedars failed to take any of them, with Ikorodu goalkeeper making double saves to deny Dannaz from the spot and subsequent rebound late on.
