Leal SC’s striker, Sunday Ojeka, made a statement in the opening game of the 2025 Dynasty Scouting League DSL Season 1, scoring a hat-trick to lead his team to a 4-1 victory over BE Arena FA.
Ojeka, who scored eight goals in 13 matches last season, continued his impressive form, earning praise from Leal SC chairman Olaolu Onadipe.
“They all did well today; they were focused in all departments, and I expect them to keep this attitude and mentality until the end of the season,” Onadipe said.
For his outstanding performance, Ojeka was awarded the Man of the Match MOTM prize, sponsored by Trailblazer Sport Management.
Editorial
Sunday Ojeka’s hat-trick performance in the DSL opener proves he is one of the league’s top attacking talents. With his eye for goal and consistency, he is becoming a player European scouts should closely monitor.
The highly anticipated Week 1 clash took place on March 6, 2025, at the Otunba Dipo Dina International Stadium in Ijebu Ode. Alongside Ojeka’s three goal heroics, Abdullahi Ahmon also found the net for Leal SC, while BE Arena FA’s only goal came from Emmanuel Nweke, last season’s joint top scorer.
The Dynasty Scouting League is gaining a reputation as a breeding ground for emerging Nigerian footballers, and players like Ojeka are proving that grassroots football remains vital for talent discovery.
If Ojeka continues this goal-scoring streak, a move to a top Nigerian club or a European side could be on the horizon. He must now focus on maintaining his momentum and helping Leal SC push for silverware this season.
