The Godwin Gibson’s side have been far from their best this season, but they reminded TCC League followers of their quality with a comfortable win on the road.

Daniel Effiong is the man in the middle of the superb performance as he netted all three goals to hand maximum points to the TCC League Cup holders, walking away with the match ball home in the process.

The first half was cagey, until Effiong broke the deadlock for his side with a fantastic finish.

The striker then completed his hat trick in the second 45 minutes to hand Dino SC their third win of the season and it was enough banish the ghosts of three of their last five games.

A fine strike from Daniel Effiong in the 47th minute proved more than enough for Dino SC, to earn another victory over the hosts in style.

However, followers of the league have continued to discus the impact of Kator Orjime had after his Man of the Match display.

Kator Orjime was the brightest star on parade as Dino Sporting Club ended poor run of results with the slim victory.

Orjime had a splendid outing and was unplayable against the Lagos based Gbagada FC at the Otunba Dipo Dina Stadium.

Dino SC came into the game hovering dangerously around the bottom of the log, having won just once from last five games.

The Coach Godwin Gibson’s men needed someone to step up against stubborn a Gbagada and Orjime was man who ran the show and took the fight to the victors.

Orjime is considered to be one of the best players in the Creative Championship League.

In fact, he is the footballer who won the heart of the fans and it wasn’t shocking when he was awarded the player of the match award on Saturday.

Orjime’s influence at Dino SC is obvious. He has shone regularly for the TCC Cup holders this season and Coach Godwin Gibson will be banking on him to deliver another masterclass against Iganmu Tigers FC come Wednesday.

However the boys will the aiming to banish the ghosts of defeats and return to winning ways when they welcome the Blue Eagles of Gbagada in their TCC MatchDay 7 fixture.

Hovering dangerously around the bottom of the log, Coach Godwin Gibson’s men have managed only one win in their last five outings.

The problem with team seems to be defending, rather than goal-scoring.

They have scored in four of their last five games, but they are paying for failing to shutout their opponents.

In addition, they have kept just one clean sheet all season long, and have shipped in 11 goals in their current TCC campaign.

At home this weekend, they have to tackle a Gbagada team that bounced back to winning ways last week – against Valiant.

The Blue Eagles may just have momentum on their side going into this game.

However, the TCC Cup holders will be hoping for a good day in front of their home crowd… and maximum points to crown a good day’s work at the office.
