Shooting Stars Sports Club, 3SC, of Ibadan, Oyo State won their second home game this season with a 1-0 win over Ocean Boys to ease the pressure on coach Festus Allen in the Nigeria Premier League, NPL.
Ighodaro Osaguona was the match hero once again, courtesy of a 52nd minute winner at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium in Ibadan.
Osaguona’s goal has thus eased pressure on the entire team.
“It was a good goal because it gave us victory. I am happy that we played as a team, we will continue to improve as a team as the league progresses,” the match winner told MTNFootball.com
“We’ve been trying our best but it’s just that luck was not on our side and I give God the glory for making it possible for us to get the three points at home, and I promise that our next game will be different.”
Osaguona has scored three goals for 3SC this season.
Also Wikki Tourists defeated ABS FC by a lone goal at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi.
The only goal of the game was scored by Aminu Abubakar in the 9th minute.
All efforts by both teams to add to this score line were in vain.
One of Wikki Tourists leading scorers, Victor Yakubu, said they tried their best to score more goals but could not.
“Victory is victory. We wanted to score more goals, but we could not,” he said.
In another game, Sharks drew goalless with hosts Rising Stars in Ijebu-ode.
