The Shooting Stars of Ibadan, this evening defeated Lafia-based Nasarawa United FC, rounding off the first round of the 2021\/2022 NPFL season on a victorious note.
\nStill basking in the euphoria of last Sunday\u2019s triumph over Kano Pillars, the Oluyole Warriors had another triumphant outing, against the Solid Minners, who have not been in good form lately.<\/p>\n
A well-placed shot from Anietie Uko from outside the 18yard box in the 15th minute of the encounter put 3SC ahead of their visitors who continued to mount pressure, trying to break through their host\u2019s defence.
\nMeanwhile, a nasty collision within the centre circle left 3SC\u2019s Uko Aniete and Nasarawa\u2019s Michael Tochukwu requiring medical attention and the Oluyole Warriors were forced to make a substitution in the 30th minute as Ayo Adejubu replaced goal scorer, Anietie Uko, who had to leave the game assisted by the medical team.
\nNasarawa United almost got an equaliser in the 64th minute as a free kick finds Lawal Shehu free and unmarked but his cushioned header missed the target by inches.
\nIn the 70th minute of the match, 3SC made three changes to the team. Kolawole Daniel, Sunday Faleye, and Malomo Taofeeq are replaced by Wasiu Alalade, Raheem Quadry, and Adelani Yusuf.
\nThe visiting team also made three changes in the 79th minute. Dauda Maigishiri, Shammasu Mohammed, and Bashir Usman replace King Osanga, Lawal Shehu, and Moyi Hassan.
\nThe Lafia-based Nasarawa United FC were unable to penetrate their host\u2019s defence and ended the first round of the season with a loss.
\nWith this win, the Oluyole Warriors have 26 points from 19 matches occupying the 9th position while Nasarawa United has 22 points from the same number of matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
