2025 President Federation Cup: Solution FC ends Lobi Stars' Federation Cup journey in Aba

Posted : 04 April 2025

Solution FC of Anambra on Wednesday defeated Lobi Stars of Makurdi 2-1 in the ongoing Nigeria Federation/President Cup, ending the Makurdi team’s journey in the competition.


The match, played at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba, Abia, saw the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side exit the competition at the hands of the Nigeria National League (NNL) team.


The first 45 minutes ended goalless, but Solution FC showed their intent to win the match after the interval. Their efforts were rewarded in the 51st minute through Emeka Oyuke.


Alexander Oche leveled the score for the Makurdi team in the 78th minute, just a few minutes after his introduction, putting smiles on the faces of their fans.


However, it was Solution FC that had the last laugh when Ahamefuna Chizoba restored the NNL team’s lead in the 85th minute to send Lobi Stars packing.


Speaking after the match, Gabriel Ezema, the Solution FC coach, said his team showed that they are growing and that they can measure up in the NPFL.


The coach stated that the experience he gained during his seven years with Rangers FC of Enugu helped him a lot while playing against an NPFL side.


Ezema said, “We have a good team, and I just needed to transfer that experience and confidence to the players so that they can compete at a higher level.”


He added that Solution FC achieved something significant by defeating Lobi Stars, describing the win as good motivation for his team going into the second round of the NNL.


Speaking about their opponent’s NPFL position, he said that the club’s performance in the match did not reflect their standing in the league.


“I think that Lobi Stars’ performance did not reflect their position in the ongoing Nigeria League because they have a lot of experience and quality; it’s just that things didn’t work out for them.


“Lobi had their moment in today’s match, but they did not take it, just like we had ours and converted two. That is what football is all about,” Ezema said.
