Sunshine Stars miraculous entrance to Super 6, a given
Posted : 22 May 2023
In what looked like an easy slip but a miraculous entrance, Sunshine Stars FC of Akure on the last fixtures sneaked in to the qualification to the Super 6 of the Group B of Abridged 2022/2023 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
The Akure Gunners on Sunday for the last match of the season, thrashed already relegated Dakkada FC 3-0 at Akure Township Stadium.
Sunshine Stars' victory over Dakkada FC already nullified whatever result that might come from Umuahia, where Abia Warriors hosted Doma United FC who were 3rd until Sunday's final round of matches.
Before the Match Day 18 fixtures, Sunshine Stars FC were on 24 points, two points shy of Doma United FC who were on 26 points.
The Akure Gunners were however leveled on points with Abia Warriors who were also on 24 points but the former on superior goal differences.
While Sunshine Stars FC on 24 points have three goals advantage, Abia Warriors have a deficit of four goals.
With the victory over Dakkada FC, Sunshine Stars FC accumulated a total of 27 points to gain the third position behind second placed Lobi Stars FC with 30 points after losing to already relegated Wikki Tourist of Bauchi in Jos.
To say the least, Sunshine Stars FC are the greatest beneficiary of Doma United's slip after an inspiring start in the league as debutants.
In all, Sunshine Stars FC secured 27 points from 18 matches with seven wins, six draws and five losses.
