History

Games between the two became fierce during 3SC's relegation to the Nigeria National League in 2006. In thirteen total meetings up to 2011, 3SC held a 9–2–2 advantage. Crown achieved promotion to the Premier League for the first time after finishing on top of the 2010 Division 1B. They were relegated back to the National League after one season and only eleven wins.
They spent two seasons at the lower level before clinching promotion on the final day of the 2013 season with a 1–0 home win over Fountain FC, finishing with a record of 14 wins 2 draws and ten losses.
