Taiye Yusuf converted Abawula Anthony's long throw for the needed equalizer in the 45th minute before halftime but the centre referee to the amazement of the visitors, disallowed the goal claiming Crown's defender was pushed
Gateway United came back into the game, when Okechukwu Promise capitalized on a loose ball in the 61st minute after Crown goalie Chizoba fails to claw Seyi Okeowo's freekick, to make it a goal-piece
Again Fabode Olaitan was on target as he grabbed a brace in the 65th to restore Crown's lead
