It was an overall solid performance for Bassey who put up a commanding display. Stats showed that he accounted for four tackles, one clearance with two shots on target from his defensive duties.

The 22-year-old who joined the Sons of the Gods in the summer from Scottish side Glasgow Rangers has made seven league appearances recording a goal and an assist.
