Two first half goals and a third in the second half were all Akwa United needed to dispatch Cynosure FC in the ongoing second edition of Governor Wike Pre-Season Football Tournament. 

Despite starting brilliantly, Cynosure FC shot itself in the foot when a poor clearance from goalkeeper Believe Imiete was punished by Ukeme Williams with a powerful shot in the 17th minute. 

Before the team could regroup, they were soon behind barely five minutes later when Ndifreke Effiong scored from a well weighted pass.

Cynosure FC started second half with a determination not to be humbled by their more illustrious opponent and were rewarded when Anyanwu Daberechi scored a brilliant header off a corner kick.
