2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 7: Rivers United tame Shooting Stars again in Port Harcourt

Posted : 18 October 2024

Two second-half goals were all Rivers United of Port Harcourt needed to beat Shooting Stars Sports Club in a 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 7 encounter.


The match, played at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, saw the Ibadan soccer lords hold their visitors to a barren draw in the first half.


3SC goalkeeper Mustapha Lawal displayed sheer brilliance, saving spot kicks awarded to the homers on two occasions.


Referee Abubakar Abdulahi awarded a penalty kick to the Port Harcourt-based side in the 13th minute of the encounter after spotting a handball in the 3SC goal area.


Mustapha, however, guessed right to stop the resultant penalty kick, only for the referee to order a replay, which the goalie saved again.


The Oluyole Warriors were able to curtail the hosts to end the first half nil-nil.


Aniekene Okon broke the deadlock five minutes into the second half before Ndifreke Udo added the second in the 65th minute, securing all three points for the homers.


Spirited efforts by the Ibadan soccer lords to find the back of the net proved abortive as the hosts resisted all their attacks, thus ending the match 2-0.


Shooting Stars will welcome Katsina United to the Lekan Salami Stadium on Monday in a Match Day 8 fixture.
