Lagos Seasiders defeated Sunshine Kings 24-21 on Friday in the ongoing second phase of the Ardova Handball Premier League taking place in Lagos.
The two teams came out strong in the opening moments of the close encounter but the Lagos team made better use of the chances that came their way while the Akure side missed glaring scoring chances.
Having rested on Thursday after the walkover victory against Confluence Stars, the Kings were tipped to do better in this game but they failed when it mattered most and paid with the loss to the Lagos team.
