2024 Nigeria Oil and Gas Industry Games: Semi-finalists emerge in football event

The 2024 Nigeria Oil and Gas Industry Games’ football competition has reached the semi-final stage, with the teams confirmed following Friday’s quarter-final matches held at the Shell Residential Area Football Pitch in Port Harcourt.

In a tightly contested opening match, Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) emerged victorious over Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) after a penalty shootout (4-2) following a scoreless draw in regulation time.

NLNG coach, Dan Jumbo, expressed frustration with PTI’s tactics, claiming they “were tactically delaying the game and were conservative in their approach. They didn’t play an open game.”
