2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 26: No victor, no vanguished, as Enyimba, Shooting Stars, end it 1-1 in Aba

Posted : 27 February 2025

Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan were held to a 1-1 draw by Enyimba FC of Aba on Wednesday in a Matchday 26 fixture played at the Enyimba International Stadium.  


Fresh from a 2-2 home draw against Lobi Stars last Sunday, the Oluyole Warriors put up a brave performance to secure a valuable point against the People's Elephants in front of their home fans.  


The Ibadan soccer lords dominated the hosts from the start, with Tijani Kabiru, Abdulrahman Daddy, William Ukeme, and Godwin Odibi dictating the game, while Sodiq Ibrahim kept Enyimba's defense busy.  


They took a well-deserved lead in the 16th minute when Sodiq clinically finished off Abdulrahman Daddy's well-laid pass.  


Another defense-splitting combination between Odibi and Sodiq almost saw the Stars doubling their lead, but the forward's effort went inches wide, with Enyimba's goalkeeper Ani Ozoemena already beaten.  


The People's Elephants leveled the score with three minutes left in the first half, courtesy of Ekene Awazie's strike.  


The second half was evenly contested, with both sides pressing for another goal.  


The introduction of Adebayo Abayomi, Mustapha Adams, Ephraim Nwachukwu, and Akpan Joshua further boosted the performance of coach Gbenga Ogunbote’s lads.  


The People's Elephants pushed forward in the closing stages of the encounter, but goalkeeper Mustapha Lawal and the defensive quartet of skipper Gali Falke, Desmond Ojietefian, Gbolagade Adelowo, and Ikouwem Utim displayed sheer bravery to keep them at bay, ensuring that the spoils were shared.  


Shooting Stars will welcome Rivers United for a Matchday 27 encounter slated for this weekend.
