For Defenders, Gideon Omokudo had 19 points, Austin Eseoghene added 16 points while Samson Bolarin made a double-double, 12 points and 14 rebounds in the game.

Bulls led as much as 16 points with 1:42 minutes remaining in the second quarter. Defenders however reduced the deficit from 16 points  (19-35) to half (27-35). Eseoghene’s buzzer shot reduced the deficit to 8 points going to the break.

Defenders made 18/35 from the free throw line and 6 of 23 from the arc but had a better advantage from fast breaks scoring 21 points. However, Bulls would take pleasure having an effective bench who were able to add 24 points in the game.

With 5:34 remaining, Defenders reduced the deficit to 3 points (55-58) hoping to overtake their Savannah Conference opponents. Despite giving Bulls a late fight, they rather increased their tally with a 10 point lead in their first ever FIBA Africa Zone 3 qualifiers.

Action returns on Tuesday when Civil Defenders take on Kano Pillars at 2pm.
