NPFL: Shooting Stars Win First Away Match In 5 Years

Glo Premier League club, Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC), ended their five-year wait to win their first game on the road in Nigeria's top flight.

The Ibadan club dispatched Heartland 3-1 at the Rojenny Stadium in Oba near the commercial town of Onitsha on Monday after the game was abandoned on Sunday owing to bad weather.

Shooting Stars head coach, Gbenga Ogunbote, gave new-signing Danladi Isah a start in goal while Fortune Omoniwari, who joined Heartland last week, also got the nod for his debut with the club.

Sharks' head coach Gbenga Ogunbote believes his team's 2-1 away victory against Kaduna United at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna has brightened their chance of winning a trophy this season.

Excited Ogunbote described the win, which pushed the Port Harcourt club to the top of the NPFL, as a result of well mapped-out tactical plan by the team from the very start of the season.

“The victory means a lot because we have been working towards it right from the beginning of the season," Ogunbote said.
