January 29, (THEWILL) – Shooting Stars beat Nasarawa United 2-0 in a midweek Nigeria Premier Football League encounter.
Taking advantage of their home ground, the hosts took control early on, with Tijani Kabiru scoring the opener in the 15th minute.
The game’s momentum remained with 3SC throughout, and they doubled their lead in the 82nd minute through Ibrahim Umar.
The goal effectively sealed the victory against a defensively set but mistake-prone Nasarawa United side. The visitors, struggling this season, found little response to the hosts’ tactics.
This loss further complicates their campaign, making their relegation battle even more herculean.
Their inability to score or mount a comeback against 3SC’s defense was evident, underlining the reality of their season, which has seen them rooted at rock bottom in the League standings.
For the hosts, it is a result that keeps them just below League leaders Remo Stars as they continue to contend for the title.
