The visitors even went ahead 1-2 to silence the home crowd who were stunned by the equaliser. They however leveled things up before the half time interval, 2-2 via another Timileyin Anuoluwa Adelabu strike.
The commencement of the second half saw Grassrunners take full advantage of their youthfulness as fatigue set in on their older opponents, netting three more goals with no response from Just John FC. Two goals from Abdoulaye Said Agbejoye and a goal from
