Football fans in Lagos were treated to an electrifying night of passion and entertainment on Saturday, as MTN hosted a lively English Premier League Watch Party at Cubana Lagos.

The event came alive as Chelsea clinched a dramatic 2-1 victory over reigning champions Liverpool, sealed by an incredible stoppage-time winner from 18-year-old Brazilian sensation Estevão.

The atmosphere was nothing short of electric, cheers, chants, and debates filled the air as hundreds of fans followed every touch of the ball as though they were at Stamford Bridge itself. Chelsea’s early dominance set the tone, and the Lagos crowd erupted when Moisés Caicedo fired a thunderous strike into the net in the 14th minute.

Liverpool, desperate to avoid a third consecutive defeat, fought back in the second half through Cody Gakpo, who bundled home a close-range equaliser after fine work from Alexander Isak. The tension rose as both sides traded chances, but the drama reached its peak deep into stoppage time.

In the 96th minute, after Enzo Fernández had struck the post moments earlier, Marc Cucurella whipped in a low cross that found Estevão, who slid in to stab the ball past Giorgi Mamardashvili, sending Chelsea fans at the watch party into wild celebration.

“See you finish! That’s the Caicedo we paid a hundred million for!” yelled Chinedu Ofili, a jubilant Chelsea fan, as the venue transformed into a carnival of music, dancing, and laughter.

Speaking during the event, MTN Nigeria’s Chief Marketing Officer, Onyinye Ikenna-Emeka, said: “At MTN, we believe every Nigerian deserves to be connected, seen, heard, and celebrated. That’s why we’re taking this experience across the country, from bustling cities to remote communities, ensuring no youth is left behind.”
