Shooting Stars SC continued their strong run with a dominant performance that saw several key players contribute to a convincing 2-0 victory over Abia Warriors in Ibadan on Sunday. In-form striker Anthony Okachi was on target again, scoring from the penalty spot to give the Oluyole Warriors the lead. This goal marked his third of the season and his second consecutive home goal, further solidifying his reputation as a key player for the team.
Winger Akpan Joshua also impressed with a well-taken goal, his second of the season. Joshua was in the right place to convert a precise pull-out from Gideon Monday, who once again showcased his playmaking abilities. Remarkably, Monday provided the assist for Joshua’s first goal of the season, highlighting the strong partnership developing between the two players.
Monday’s return to the lineup after missing the away match against Remo Stars was marked by an immediate impact. The winger's pinpoint cross set up Joshua's goal, demonstrating his importance to the team. Monday’s performance added further depth to Shooting Stars' attacking play, proving that his absence in the previous match was felt.
At the other end, goalkeeper Mustapha Lawal once again showed his class, keeping a clean sheet with several important saves. Lawal’s sharp reflexes kept the visitors at bay, denying them any chance to score and ensuring that Shooting Stars would secure all three points. His performance further cemented his status as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the league.
With a well-rounded team effort, Shooting Stars SC emerged victorious, demonstrating both offensive and defensive prowess. The performances of Okachi, Joshua, Monday, and Lawal were crucial in the team’s continued success, and they will be hoping to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
