Shooting Stars Football Club of Ibadan (3SC) on Wednesday showed that they are ready to return to the elite division by defeating Benin Republic side Anosie FC 5-0 at the Adamasingba Stadium, Ibadan.
The Oluyole Warriors intensified their preparations for the restart of the Nigeria National League (NNL) with a superb display against the visitors with goals from Jabal Anifowoshe, Ayobami Junior and Sani Nurudeen that gave Edith Agoye’s side a 3-0 lead into the break.
At the restart, Uche Okorie and Bello Rouchdane sealed an emphatic win for the Oluyole Warriors.
Speaking after the game, Agoye said he was satisfied with the performance of his team but looking out for his side’s consistency in the league.
3SC are currently second in the nine-team NNL Group B1 table with 12 points from seven games.
“It was a good game and I’m pleased with the reaction of the players. I just want more consistency from them so we don’t drop,” Agoye said.
Agoye also praised the Oyo State government for their immense support since his appointment.
“The State government has tried and I also want to thank our sponsors Nairabet for their endless support to the team.”
Agoye also revealed that his team will play another tune up game against Triple 4, a selected side from Ibadan on Thursday before their international friendly against the Benin Republic’s U-20 team on Friday.
The Junior Squirrels are using the game as part of preparations for the final qualifying round for 2018 TOTAL African Youth Championship.
