The Oga Boys looked set to claim all three points after Ujunwa Onyekeche Elijah scored in the 85th minute to give them a 2-1 advantage. However, Doma captain Bitrus Philemon struck deep into added time to rescue a point for the hosts at the Pantami Stadium.
The encounter, played behind closed doors, began with Doma United showing attacking intent. The hosts threatened early through Sadiq Rilwan before Ikorodu City thought they had taken the lead, only for Donald Obiajulu's effort to be ruled out for offside.
Philemon puts Doma United ahead
Doma United eventually broke the deadlock in the 19th minute after Tijjani Azeez was brought down inside the penalty area.
Captain Philemon stepped forward and confidently converted the resulting spot-kick to put the hosts 1-0 ahead.
Ikorodu City responded positively and restored parity five minutes later through Tomiwa Awojobi, who produced an excellent strike from outside the penalty area to beat goalkeeper Emmanuel Adayilo.
Both sides went into the half-time break level at 1-1.

Philemon's brace proved decisive, cancelling out Ikorodu City's late advantage and denying the visitors what would have been an important away triumph.
