His heroic display at the Semi-final gave L.A the final ticket.
Odunayo is pacy, Skilful and intelligent with the ball.
Olorunjuni Gbenga ( Amazing Grace nursery and primary school)
Unarguably the best player so far in the year’s tournament.
Gbenga’s versatility has taken Amazing Grace does far.
In the opening match against Camp David nursery and primary school, Gbenga scored a quick double within 4minutes of kickstarting.
His second goal of that match left everyone dumbfounded,It was from a 35-yard free kick.
When his team piles pressure, Gbenga leads other forwards and when it comes to absorbing pressure, Gbenga becomes a defender.
