2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 11: Shooting Stars end El-Kanemi Warriors' unbeaten run with 3-0 drubbing

Posted : 11 November 2024

It was a perfect response from Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) as the Ibadan soccer lords bounced back from last weekend's loss to Niger Tornadoes to thrash El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri 3-0 at the Lekan Salami Sports Complex.


Goals from Samuel Ayanrinde, Aliyu Abubakar, and substitute Mustapha Adams ensured the Oluyole Warriors secured all three points over the visitors, who had remained unbeaten prior to the matchday 11 encounter.

Coach Gbenga Ogunbote's lads showed no hesitation in their hunger for a solid win as they dominated proceedings and created more scoring chances.


Samuel Ayanrinde opened the scoring in the 26th minute, rising to nod home a well-delivered cross from Gideon Monday.


Charged by their vociferous fans, the Stars doubled their lead 11 minutes later when Aliyu Abubakar drove home from an impossible angle, giving his side a 2-0 lead at the break.


Apparently aiming for more goals, Coach Gbenga Ogunbote introduced Mustapha Adams for Ayanrinde, and this move paid off in the 62nd minute when the left-footed forward’s shot caught the El-Kanemi Warriors' goalkeeper napping for the third goal.


The visitors tried to make a statement with their ball distribution, but they could hardly threaten goalkeeper Mustapha Lawal, who enjoyed the support of Gali Falke, Muritala Taiye, Desmond Ojietefian, and Alex Aghahowa, who defended stoutly to prevent the northerners from finding the back of the net until the end of the game.


The win takes Shooting Stars' points tally to 15 from 11 matches and moves the team to 10th position on the log.


Up next for the Oluyole Warriors is a trip to Lagos for a South West derby against elite league debutant Ikorodu City, scheduled for this weekend.
