Austin Ogunye's 82nd-minute goal was all Bendel Insurance needed to get their first win in the NNL Super 4.

Bayelsa United, following their disappointing draw to Doma United on Wednesday sought to get their first win in order to set their campaign in good motion.

But it was not to be as United were below par against a Benin Arsenal side that played better for most of the encounter.

After missed chances especially by Insurance, it was not until the 82nd minute before Ogunye watered the ground with his goal.

Divine Nwachukwu ran through the left flank, crossed into the box, Ogunye missed his first shot, but he rose fast to put in the rebound.
