2024 Guasu/Ahlan Pre-season Cup: Lobi Stars dominate Mighty Jets

Posted : 21 August 2024

In a commanding display of skill and strategy, Lobi Stars FC of Makurdi asserted their dominance over Mighty Jets FC of Jos, securing a decisive 2-0 victory in the 3rd edition of the Gusau/Ahlan Pre-Season Tournament, held in Jos, Plateau State.


The match, which kicked off at exactly 2 p.m., saw the "Yes Father Boys" deliver a masterclass performance, leaving their opponents with little room to breathe.


The game began on a high note for Lobi Stars, as they quickly took control of the proceedings. The breakthrough came in the 7th minute when Peter Onah capitalized on a well-executed play to put the Makurdi-based side ahead.


His goal set the tone for the match, signaling Lobi Stars' intent to dominate.


Just three minutes later, Stanley Oganbor came tantalizingly close to doubling the lead, but his shot narrowly missed the target, skimming wide for a goal kick.


The attacking trio of Stanley Oganbor, Waheed Adebayo, and Suur Kumaga were relentless, keeping the Mighty Jets' defense under constant pressure with their fluid combination play.


However, a series of missed opportunities kept the scoreline at 1-0.


Lobi Stars' persistence paid off in the 40th minute when Christian Madu rose to the occasion, heading home a precise cross from John Lazarus to double the lead.


The Pride of Benue entered halftime with a comfortable 2-0 advantage.


The second half saw Lobi Stars maintain their stranglehold on the match, with the Jos side struggling to find a way back into the game.


Despite making several substitutions to test new players, the Yes Father Boys were unable to extend their lead, though they continued to create chances.


Goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel was outstanding, demonstrating cat-like reflexes to deny the few attempts Mighty Jets managed to muster.


At the final whistle, Lobi Stars celebrated a well-deserved 2-0 win, with Christian Madu named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance and crucial contribution to the team's success.


Looking ahead, Lobi Stars are set to face Discovery Academy of Kebbi State in their second match of the Group C stage on Thursday, 22nd August 2024 at 2 p.m.
