On the day, the game pit Balogun against his Super Eagles teammate, Semi Ajayi, who played the entire duration.
The duo battled for their respective sides on the defensive ends putting up impressive numbers.
In Aerial duels, Interceptions, Blocks, Tackles and Blocks the Center Halves tried to outdo each other.
However it was Ajayi who would eventual succumb as Sam Morsy’s 73rd minute strike broke the deadlock and it proved winner.
The victory propelled Paul Cook’s side out of the relegation zone and four points into safety.
