2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 10: Mustapha Lawal's goalkeeping prowess not enough, as Tornadoes stun Shooting Stars 2-0 in Minna

Posted : 04 November 2024

Brilliant goalkeeping by Mustapha Lawal and a dominant second-half display by Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) could not save the Oluyole Warriors as they slumped to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Niger Tornadoes on Sunday.


The 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Match Day 10 encounter, played at the Bako Kontagora Stadium, saw the hosts secure their first home win of the season with a goal in each half.

It was a game in which Shooting Stars' goalkeeper, Mustapha Lawal, put up a great performance, but his efforts were just not enough to save his side from defeat.


The hosts scored the first goal in the 31st minute through Joseph Godstime, who slashed home a low cross past the impressive goalkeeper Mustapha Lawal.


The hosts, who dominated proceedings in the first half, could have added more if not for Mustapha Lawal's reflexes.


However, the coach Gbenga Ogunbote-tutored lads upped their game in the second half, taking the game to the hosts, with substitutes Tosin Olawale and Mustapha Adams adding bite to the attack.


Adams should have grabbed the equalizer in the 70th minute, but his shot went in the wrong direction after Anthony Okachi bulldozed his way through the Ikon Allah Boys' defense.


Okachi, who was a thorn in the flesh of the Tornadoes, almost leveled things up minutes later, but his well-taken shot flew inches away from the target.


The Oluyole Warriors kept pressing for the equalizer but faced difficulties in the 88th minute when Mendos Rickson benefited from poor defending by the Stars to fire past Mustapha, dashing the visitors' hopes of leveling with just two minutes left in the 90.


Next Sunday, Shooting Stars will return to their base for a Match Day 11 clash against El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri, the only club yet to taste defeat this season.
