Chiwendu Ihezuo scored the fourth goal close to the end of the match.

Falcons coach, Christopher Danjuma, later said that 70 to 80 per cent of his players were back from the Federation Cup which boosted their performance.

Santos Boys coach, Ezekiel Oyegbulem, who described the game as `good,’ said his boys were not prepared for it.

He said they were compelled to honour the invitation.

“Since we had to train with the Falcons to prepare for the AAG, we had to be here,” he said.
