2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 27: Kwara United falls to Sunshine Stars in six-goal thriller

Posted : 03 March 2025

It was a dramatic and disappointing outing for Kwara United in their NPFL Matchday 27 fixture at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, as they fell 4-2 to Sunshine Stars in a thrilling encounter.  


Sunshine Stars took an early lead in the 11th minute through Liman Ahmad, but Kwara United responded swiftly, with Issa Gatta equalizing in the 23rd minute. Just four minutes later (27'), Wasiu Alalade put the Harmony Boys ahead, raising hopes of securing a crucial victory.  


However, the lead was short-lived, as Saheed Olaniyi scored an unfortunate own goal, allowing Sunshine Stars to draw level.  


The hosts piled on more pressure, and Liman Ahmad struck again on the stroke of halftime, giving Sunshine Stars a 3-2 advantage going into the break.  


Just two minutes into the second half (47'), Liman Ahmad completed his hat-trick, extending Sunshine Stars' lead to 4-2.  


Despite tactical substitutions from the Kwara United coaching crew—Nurudeen Badmus replacing Adamu Abubakar, Sadeeq Yusuf coming in for Akanni Akeem, and Omotayo Yusuf replacing Shola AbdulRaheem—the Harmony Boys could not overturn the deficit, and the game ended 4-2 in favor of Sunshine Stars.  


Coach Tunde Sanni expressed disappointment over the result, describing it as a setback for the team in their NPFL campaign.
