Bendel Insurance FC wins first league game over arch rival, Shooting Stars FC

Posted : 08 October 2023
Bendel Insurance FC on Saturday appears to have put the CAF Confederation Cup woes behind them with a decent return to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) actions, bagging a convincing 2-0 win over their arch rival Shooting Star Sports Club of Ibadan.

The testy match against the Oluyole Warriors is the first league game of Bendel Insurance in the 2023/2014 NPFL after their earlier engagements in the CAF Confederation Cup match against RS Berkane which they lost out on a 2-3 aggregate.

Speaking on the expectations from the first league match, Bendel Insurance tactician, Monday Odigie had said that he would be ready for the new seasons' challenges.

To match his word with actions, the Benin Arsenals earned a convincing 2-0 win over Shooting Stars of Ibadan, a team they have not been able to defeat in the last two league attempts.

The match played in a half filled Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, had Bendel Insurance record an emphatic victory and claim the first bragging right over their age-long rival.

The first goal of the day was scored in the 8th minute adjudged to be an own goal with Gali Falke heading the ball into his own net from a well-taken cross from the left by former MFM FC player, Stanley Okorom, while Evans Ogbonda’s 78th minute rocket sealed it for Bendel Insurance.

On the contrary, Shooting Stars SC have started their campaign on high note with a 2-1 victory against Plateau United on Match Day 1

The Gbenga Ogunbote’s team will now host Gombe United on Wednesday at Adamasingba Stadium for their Match Day 3 fixtures.
