In a Southwestern derby at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, where Sunshine Stars played their home match, Shooting Stars secured a 1-0 away win, temporarily moving them into fifth place.
Before the match, they were in eighth position and had, at one point, found themselves near the relegation zone.
Shooting Stars last won the Nigerian league in 1998 and set a negative record by becoming the first Nigerian reigning champion to be relegated the following season.
However, now they are within striking distance of the top, thanks to a 28th-minute strike by Otakpo Aghahowa, which helped the long-time former champions secure all three points.
