Morecambe's first game under new owners Panjab Warriors ended in dramatic fashion as Daniel Ogwuru struck in the eighth minute of stoppage time to give them a 2-1 win over Altrincham. The match was emotionally charged, with Morecambe fans fearing for the future of their club until the takeover was confirmed. Ashvir Singh Johal, the first Sikh to manage a British professional club, was hired as the new manager and made several key signings, including Ogwuru, who was announced on Friday. Ogwuru was sent on by Johal midway through the second half and rewarded his manager with a fine low finish to clinch the three points. The win was a precious one for Morecambe, who had a frantic week leading up to the match, with over 10 players signed and a new manager appointed. Ben Tollitt, last season's player of the year, scored the first goal under the new regime, but Altrincham responded impressively with Jimmy Knowles equalizing before halftime. The second half was closely contested, with both teams creating chances, but it was Ogwuru who made the difference with his stoppage time goal. The win was a special one for Morecambe supporters, who roared on their team throughout the match. Morecambe's new owners, Panjab Warriors, will be hoping this win is the start of a successful era for the club. The team's performance was impressive, with several players standing out, including Gwion Edwards, who went close with two efforts. The match was a thrilling one, with both teams giving it their all, and the win was a deserved one for Morecambe. The club's fans will be hoping this win is the start of a successful season, and with the new owners and manager in place, they will be looking to build on this result.
