2025 President Federation Cup: 3SC advance into semi-finals in Oyo

Posted : 23 February 2025

Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan have advanced to the semi-final stage of the 2025 President Federation Cup competition in Oyo State.  


The Oluyole Warriors progressed after defeating Oye-Olohun FC of Iseyin 1-0 in the quarter-final match played at Olubadan Stadium in Ibadan.  


Joshua Akpan put the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side ahead in the 25th minute by blasting a rebounded shot past the goalkeeper.  


Shooting Stars were reduced to 10 men during first-half added time when Gbolagade Adelowo was sent off after receiving a second yellow card.  


He earned the second yellow card for kicking the ball after the referee’s whistle.  


Oye-Olohun FC pushed forward in the second half with brilliant touches, hoping to take advantage of playing against a 10-man team.  


But 3SC’s experience showed as they warded off the amateur side’s several incursions until the end of regulation time.  


3SC will face defending champions Ilaji Football Club on Saturday in the competition’s second semi-final game.  


The winners of the encounter will face Crown Football Club of Ogbomoso in the final, now scheduled for Sunday at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan.  


Commenting on the game, 3SC’s Assistant Coach, Abimbola Lawal, pointed out that it was tough for the team to play the whole second half with one man down.  


“We just had to manage the situation of playing with one man down through some substitutions.  


“We know that beating a team like Oye-Olohun FC may not be big news, but losing the game would bring disrepute to 3SC’s big name,” he said.
